Installation & First Launch

Step 1: Download RTILA X

1. Go to the RTILA X download page.
2. Click the download button for your operating system.
3. Save the installer file.

Step 2: Install

Windows

1. Run the downloaded .msi installer.
2. If Windows shows a security warning, click “More info” → “Run anyway”.
3. Follow the installation wizard.
4. On Windows Server editions, ensure Visual C++ Redistributable is installed (the installer will prompt if missing).

macOS

1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
2. Drag the RTILA X icon into the Applications folder.
3. On first launch, if macOS blocks the app, go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy and click “Open Anyway”.

Linux

1. Download the .AppImage or .deb file.
2. For AppImage: make it executable (chmod +x rtila-x.AppImage) and double-click.
3. For deb: sudo dpkg -i rtila-x.deb
4. Ensure a full Desktop GUI is available (GNOME recommended).

Step 3: First Launch — Connection Mode

On first launch, RTILA X shows a connection mode selection screen.

Mode	Description
Local (Default)	Everything runs on your computer. Maximum privacy. No setup required.
Cloud	Connects to the official RTILA cloud for synced projects.
Remote Self-Hosted	Connect to your own server running the RTILA backend.

Tip: If you choose Local mode, RTILA X will automatically start the embedded database and begin initialization. You do not need to configure anything.

Step 4: License Activation

After selecting your connection mode, you will be prompted to enter a license key or a Team Member URL.

Free Community License

If you don’t have a license, you can get a free community license that includes:

• 1 device activation
• 1 active automation project
• Unlimited runs for that 1 project
• Access to the AI Assistant

Tip: To get a free license, visit the community license page linked from the activation screen.

Paid License

Enter your license key in the Enter Your License Key field and click Activate. If you were given a Team Member URL by your organization, paste it in the second field instead.

Step 5: Create Your First Profile

After license activation, RTILA X asks you to create a profile. Profiles are like user accounts within the app — each profile has its own projects, data, and settings.

1. Enter a Profile Name (e.g., “Personal”, “Work”, “Client X”).
2. Optionally enable Password Protection to secure the profile with a password (minimum 8 characters).
3. Click Create Profile and Start.

What’s a profile? Think of it as a workspace. Each profile keeps its projects, scraped data, and settings separate. You can create multiple profiles for different clients or purposes.

Step 6: You’re In!

You are now on the main Dashboard. From here you can:

• Create and manage automation projects
• Chat with the AI Assistant
• View scraped data and logs
• Schedule tasks
• Configure settings
