How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

  1. Using AnythingLLM Desktop on Linux which was downloaded yesterday.
  2. Choose Ollama as the desktop provider
  3. AnythingLLM successfully recognizes the Ollama server
  4. Hit to arrow to continue and get an error in a popup: Failed to save LLM Settings: Failed to Fetch

$uname -a

I get the same error, also when trying to use OpenAI or Anthropic models. This makes anythingLLM literally unusable, I'm stuck at the setup screen.

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Mar 3, 2025):

The only reason(s) that the desktop app would fail to load on boot are the following:

  • You are running Linux on ARM (unsupported for desktop app)
  • The storage folder is read-only (you would see this in logs with read-only database)
  • Your CPU does not support AVX2 instruction sets (this would occur during embedding only)
  • The prisma ORM engine does not work on your OS - thus all writes to the local SQLite DB fail
