System Requirements

GreenLight DashBoard ships as a packaged desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux.

Supported platforms

Platform	Architecture	Notes
macOS	Apple Silicon (arm64)	DMG and ZIP installers
macOS	Intel (x64)	DMG and ZIP installers
Windows	x64	NSIS installer
Linux	x64	AppImage and .deb installers — glibc 2.35 or newer

The macOS build is hardened-runtime and notarised by Apple. The Windows build is code-signed.

Linux distributions

The Linux build needs glibc 2.35 or newer, which means Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Linux Mint 21, Fedora 36, or anything more recent. Older distributions refuse to start the bundled backend with a version 'GLIBC_...' not found error — see Backend Will Not Start.

Check your version with:

“bash ldd --version “

Hardware

	Minimum	Recommended
CPU	Apple Silicon M1 / 8th-gen Intel / Ryzen 3000	Apple Silicon M2+ / 12th-gen Intel / Ryzen 5000+
RAM	8 GB	16 GB or more
Disk	2 GB free for the app, plus space for your media	SSD with 20 GB free
GPU	Any GPU that supports hardware video decode	Discrete GPU for faster renders
Display	1280×800	1440×900 or larger

Boards can grow large because every imported video and image is stored locally. Plan disk space around the size of the media you collect, not the size of the app.

Network

The app works offline once installed. Network access is needed for:

• Downloading content from URLs (YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and the other supported platforms).
• AI generation — calls go directly from your machine to the model provider you configured.
• License activation — first activation contacts greenlightdash.pro; afterwards the license is valid offline for several days at a time.
• Auto-update — checks GitHub Releases for new versions.

Permissions

On macOS the app requests Microphone access the first time you use voice input. The permission is declared in the app’s entitlements; you can revoke it any time from System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone.
