Installation

How to load PathWise onto your machine and start it. You download an image, load it into Docker, and run it. Today PathWise runs on Linux and Apple Silicon Macs. A Windows version is on the way.

Verify

Two values on this page wait on the release build: the download's exact filename and the image tag inside it. Everything else is confirmed against the source.

What you download

Your purchase email holds a download link. It gives you the PathWise image as a file, not a public registry pull. You load that file into Docker yourself.

Load and start

  1. Check the download. Confirm the file matches the checksum in your email, so you know it arrived intact.
  2. Load the image. Run docker load --input with the downloaded file.
  3. Start the engine. Run docker compose up -d with the compose file below. On a Mac, use the bridge compose instead. See System requirements for the one host setting ping needs on Linux.
  4. Open the interface. Visit the engine on port 7180. A healthy start prints PathWise engine listening on http://<host>:<port> in the container logs. The first visit shows a setup screen where you create the admin account, then setup closes. After that, teammates register themselves and an admin approves each account before it can sign in, within what your license seats allow.
Verify

The exact docker load filename and the image tag it loads come from the release build and get confirmed there.

Keep your data across restarts

PathWise keeps records like its audit log and your settings. Mount one persistent volume at /app/pathwise-data. PathWise stores users.db and config.json there. Set DATA_DIR=/app/pathwise-data. If you skip this, a container replacement can lose them.

Here is the buyer compose file. Replace <SHIPPED_IMAGE_TAG> with the tag your docker load printed. Use host networking on Linux for the real LAN vantage. On a Mac, use the bridge variant and publish 7180:7180 instead.

Once it starts, activate your license, pick a model on the reasoning engine page, then run the check on Your first diagnosis.
