Running an app you bought
For buyers: what you actually download, the two ways to run it (one command or an AI assistant), runtimes explained, and what to do if it won't start.
You bought a tool. Here's exactly what you got and how to run it — including the path for people who've never opened a terminal. If you just want the quick version, the two-minute how-to-run guide has it; this page is the fuller reference.
What you actually download
Every tool is a small folder you download from your library and unzip. It's an ordinary folder on your own computer — nothing installs itself, nothing runs in the cloud, and your data never leaves your machine. Inside you'll find a README.md (what it does), a SETUP.md (how to run it), the code, and its licence.
Your purchases stay in your library permanently — you can re-download any time, on any computer.
Two ways to run it
Pick whichever fits you. Every tool supports at least one.
A) The one-command way
Best if you're comfortable opening a terminal. Every tool lists its exact command on its listing page and in the included SETUP.md.
- Download the tool from your library and unzip it.
- Open the folder in your terminal.
- Paste the one command shown on the tool's page. That's it.
B) The AI-assisted way (no coding)
Never touched a terminal? Let an AI assistant do the whole setup. You do this once, then every tool you ever buy works the same way.
- Install a coding assistant once — we recommend Claude Code or Cursor.
- Open the downloaded folder in it.
- Type:
set this up and run it - The assistant reads the included
SETUP.md, installs what's needed, and starts the tool for you.
This is the whole trick
SETUP.md unattended. You don't need to understand the code — you just need the assistant open in the folder.Runtimes, briefly
Each listing shows a runtime — the thing the tool needs to run. If you use the AI-assisted path, the assistant handles this for you. If you're running it yourself, here's what each means:
| Runtime | What you need |
|---|---|
| Node.js | Node.js installed (nodejs.org). Usually npm install && npm start. |
| Python | Python installed (python.org). Usually a pip install then a run command. |
| Browser | Nothing extra — it runs in a web browser you already have. |
| Desktop app | Download and open it like any app. The setup guide covers first-run security prompts. |
If it won't run
- Re-read
SETUP.md. The exact command and prerequisites are there. Check you installed the runtime it names. - Ask your AI assistant. Open the folder and describe the error — it can usually diagnose a missing dependency or wrong version.
- Contact the seller. Every listing has a support email. Sellers agree to help with “won't run” issues.
