Requirements
Liege runs the heavy LLM work locally on your machine, so your hardware matters. Here's what you need.
Operating system
| OS | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 / 11 (x64) | ✅ Primary | Most tested. PowerShell used for env setup. |
| macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon) | ✅ Supported | M1/M2/M3. Intel Macs work but slower. |
| Linux (Ubuntu 22+) | ⚠️ Unsupported | Should work, not tested. Use at own risk. |
Hardware minimums
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 16 GB | 32 GB |
| GPU VRAM | 8 GB (RTX 3060 or better) | 12 GB+ (RTX 4070 / M2 Pro / M3 Pro) |
| Disk | 30 GB free | 100 GB free (for models + logs) |
| CPU | 4 cores | 8+ cores |
No GPU? You can still run Liege — local CPU inference on small models works for basic tasks. Heavy content drafting and intel tasks will escalate to Claude (budget ~$30–$50/mo). Performance drops ~10x vs GPU.
Software prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ — nodejs.org (LTS installer)
- Git — git-scm.com (or just use GitHub Desktop)
- Ollama — ollama.com/download
- Chrome or Edge — for the Command Deck dashboard and OAuth flows
Cloud accounts you'll connect
You don't need all of these on day one. Connect what applies to your business:
- Google account — for Gmail, Calendar, Google Business Profile
- Meta (Facebook) account with a Page — for FB + Instagram posting
- WordPress / Webflow / Squarespace login — if you want blog posts auto-published
- Mailchimp / Klaviyo account — if you want email campaigns sent automatically
- Telegram account — for approval notifications (free)
Budget assumptions
Local inference is $0 per run. You only pay for:
- Claude escalation for hard tasks — $0 to $25/day (you set the cap)
- Meta / Google Ads spend — same as before, Liege doesn't markup
- Liege monthly subscription — $197 Starter, $497 Pro, $1,497 Agency
Check your machine now
Run this quick check from PowerShell (Windows) or Terminal (Mac):
node --version
npm --version
git --version
ollama --versionAll four should print a version. If any say "command not found," install them first.
