Install the Desktop Application
Supported platforms
Tensormorph's compute layer targets five backends - CPU, wgpu/WebGPU, CUDA, ROCm/HIP, and Metal - which implies desktop support across Windows, Linux, and macOS, with GPU acceleration available wherever a matching backend (CUDA on NVIDIA, ROCm on AMD, Metal on Apple Silicon) is present. See GPU Backend Compatibility for how backend selection works once installed - you are not required to have a GPU at all, since CPU is a first-class backend, not a fallback.
What to expect
Based on the application's design, installing and first-running Tensormorph will involve:
- Downloading a platform-appropriate installer or package.
- A first-launch step where Tensormorph detects available compute backends on your machine and sets a sensible
Compute: Autodefault (see GPU Backend Compatibility). - An empty workbench, ready for you to open a checkpoint - see Open Your First Model.
Command-line tooling
Beyond the desktop application, Tensormorph ships CLI tooling (tmorph) for indexing and validating checkpoints outside an interactive session - see Tensormorph CLI - which is installed separately and doesn't require the desktop app to run.
