# Easy Setup Wizard

> Use the guided Easy Setup Wizard to configure capabilities and download content for your N.O.M.A.D. server.

The Easy Setup Wizard is the recommended starting point for first-time N.O.M.A.D. users. It walks you through choosing which capabilities to enable and which content to download — all in a single guided flow.

Launch the wizard from the Command Center home screen at `http://localhost:8080`, or navigate directly to `/easy-setup`.

## The four wizard steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Capabilities">
    Choose which tools and services to enable on your server. You can enable any combination of the following:

    | Capability          | Powered by      | What it provides                                               |
    | ------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Information Library | Kiwix           | Offline Wikipedia, medical references, survival guides, ebooks |
    | AI Assistant        | Ollama + Qdrant | Built-in chat with document upload and semantic search         |
    | Education Platform  | Kolibri         | Khan Academy courses, progress tracking, multi-user support    |
    | Maps                | ProtoMaps       | Downloadable regional maps with search and navigation          |
    | Data Tools          | CyberChef       | Encryption, encoding, hashing, and data analysis               |
    | Notes               | FlatNotes       | Local note-taking with markdown support                        |

    <Tip>
      If your hardware meets the recommended specs (32 GB RAM, dedicated GPU), enable the AI Assistant. It runs entirely on your server — no internet required and no data sent anywhere.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Maps">
    If you enabled Maps in the previous step, select the geographic regions you want to download for offline use.

    <Tip>
      Download maps for your home region plus any neighboring areas you may travel through. Map files can be large, so prioritize the regions most relevant to your use case.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Content">
    Select a content tier for the capabilities you enabled. Three tiers are available:

    | Tier              | Description                                                                     |
    | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Essential**     | The smallest curated collection — core references and minimal storage footprint |
    | **Standard**      | A mid-size collection balancing coverage and storage use                        |
    | **Comprehensive** | The full collection — everything available for the capabilities you selected    |

    <Note>
      Larger tiers require significantly more storage and download time. Choose based on your available disk space and how much time you can leave your server downloading.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review">
    Review all your selections — capabilities, map regions, and content tier — before confirming. Once you confirm, downloads begin automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After completing the wizard

After you confirm your selections, N.O.M.A.D. starts downloading the content you chose. Depending on the content tier and your internet speed, downloads may take a significant amount of time.

You can:

* Monitor download progress in **Settings**
* Continue using capabilities that are already installed while others are still downloading
* Leave your server running overnight for large downloads

<Note>
  The Easy Setup Wizard only needs to be run once. You can add more capabilities, map regions, or content at any time from **Settings → Apps**, **Settings → Maps Manager**, and **Settings → Content Explorer**.
