Hey, I tried to use Unsloth to run Gemma 4 locally but got stuck during the setup on Windows 11.

At some point it asked me to create a password, and right after that it threw an error. Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/sCMmqht

This happened after running the PowerShell setup, where it installed several things like NVIDIA components, VS Code, and Python. At the end, PowerShell tell me to open a http://localhost URL in my browser, and that’s where I was prompted to set the password before it failed.

Also, I noticed that an Unsloth icon was added to my desktop, but when I click it, nothing happens.

For context, I’m not a developer and I had never used PowerShell before. Some of the steps were a bit intimidating and I wasn’t fully sure what I was approving when clicking through.

The overall experience felt a bit rough for my level. It would be great if this could be packaged as a simple .exe or a standalone app instead of going through terminal and browser steps.

Are there any plans to make something like that?


Apologies we just fixed it!! If you try again from source ie

irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

it should work hopefully. If not - please at us on Discord and we'll help you!

The Network error is a bummer - we'll check.

And yes we're working on a .exe!!


It worked! https://imgur.com/a/SOfiRhv

Thanks, will check it out tomorrow.

Hope the unsloth-setup.exe > Windows App is coming soon! I think it will expand accessibility and user base.


Oh nice! Glad it worked! Yes!! We're working on the app!

I read several articles about this today, and surprisingly, found this video more clear and easy to understand what is the situation https://youtu.be/-WF34Sgq76c


LM Studio user here. Unsloth looks great, wanted to check it out, but there is no app file to download and install? Sorry I'm not familiar with the command line.


On Assets [1] you will find that they release official portable versions.

Ah, so it is now. BAT file, but it works.

And Chromebooks aren't only a web browser, are only an Android web browser.

I used one and it has the android play store to install apps, thank god FF at least supports extensions, but many apps lack features of the desktop counterparts, the layouts are designed only for mobile and on desktop looks terrible (including FF android).


Yes, I was confused as well. The current Hacker News title is “Ceno, browse the web without internet access”, but on the official site the headline/<title> reads “Ceno Browser | Share the Web!”.

That mismatch is likely what is causing the confusion. The HN title probably should be updated to reflect the current title used on the site.

Another possibility is that the original title actually was “browse the web without internet access” and the developers later changed the site headline after the post was submitted to HN.


That looks nice, I use the free plan of https://visualping.io for some software changelogs, RSS feeds are a paid feature. Will check this out.


Yeah, RSS is free on all plans — it felt like a core feature, not an upsell


As someone not from the U.S., this thread confused me at first and I had to look it up.

What tripped me up is that sriracha is the name of a type of sauce, not a trademarked brand. It’s similar to how many companies can make “ketchup”. In contrast, Tabasco Sauce is a registered brand, so only one company can sell a sauce called Tabasco.

Because of that, several companies produce sriracha. The one most people associate with the name in the U.S. is Huy Fong Foods (the “rooster” bottle, often simply called Sriracha). But it’s just one brand among many, like Underwood Ranches Sriracha (made by the former pepper supplier mentioned in the story).

So when the OP says “the Sriracha guys screwed over their supplier”, they are talking specifically about Huy Fong, not the sauce style itself.


Besides the issues of the OP approach that many point out on this thread, I also want to point out that the ZIP code input on the example, doesn't have the type=number so my mobile keyboard opens with the whole keys instead of the numeric keyboard, in this case that ZIP codes are only numbers, the type=number will improve accessibility.
