## Common questions

### Can I point AIPOCH Open-Science to a local model server?

Yes, you can connect to supported model providers, a custom gateway, or a compatible local model server.

### How do I export a completed research session?

Completed research sessions can be exported as portable .science packages that include selected conversation branches, file versions, Notebook records, and verification evidence.

### How do I access the runtime log for troubleshooting?

Open Settings, General, Diagnostics, and use Open or Reveal for the runtime log. Inspect the log before sharing and omit account tokens.

### Does v0.37.0 CLI or headless mode require Electron?

No, v0.37.0 runs the shared backend as a standalone Node service, so the command line and headless mode no longer need a windowless Electron host.

### How do I install the desktop app for the first time?

Download the installer matching your operating system and CPU architecture from the Releases page, then complete the five-step setup wizard.
