Install along with the clips
Download the installer and run it as shown in the clip. The app downloads the AI model automatically.
Open your first chat
Open BOM AI — the chat page opens at localhost:3000.
Ports 11434 and 8888 belong to internal services, not the chat page.
Check the service status (for comfortable Linux users)
systemctl status bomai
journalctl -u bomai -n 20
If the status is active (running), everything is normal.
