OPENZERO 5.4 OFFLINE RELEASE GUIDE

WHAT THIS IS
The offline release path is for operators who want a machine that can keep running OpenZero after it is physically disconnected from the internet.

The large air-gap bundle is built from one connected Linux OpenZero node and usually lands around 15 GB to 25 GB once Gemma model weights are inside it.

WHAT THE BUNDLE CARRIES
- OpenZero source code
- Python wheelhouse for the runtime dependencies
- Moltbot node_modules
- A local Node.js runtime archive
- A PM2 package tarball
- An Ollama binary
- The local Ollama model store from the builder node
- The bundled Chrome .deb when available

BUILD THE OFFLINE BUNDLE
Run these commands on one connected Linux node that already has OpenZero working:

cd ~/openzero
chmod +x build_offline_release.sh
./build_offline_release.sh

OPTIONAL: include offline voice wheels too

cd ~/openzero
./build_offline_release.sh --with-voice

WHAT YOU GET
The builder writes these files into ~/openzero/dist:

- openzero_offline_release.tar.gz
- openzero_offline_release.tar.gz.sha256
- timestamped copies for archive/history

MOVE IT TO AN AIR-GAPPED MACHINE
Copy openzero_offline_release.tar.gz to the offline target by USB, LAN drop, or whatever secure method you trust.

INSTALL ON THE OFFLINE TARGET
On the offline Linux target:

tar -xzf openzero_offline_release.tar.gz
cd openzero_offline_release
chmod +x install_offline.sh
./install_offline.sh

If you want the optional voice wheel set too:

./install_offline.sh --voice

By default the offline installer treats the extracted folder as the final OpenZero install directory, so it does not duplicate the giant bundle unless you explicitly pass a different --dir path.

IMPORTANT REALITY CHECK
The offline installer does not fetch internet packages. The target machine still needs a sane Linux base with Python 3, tar, and standard system libraries already present.

PUBLIC DOWNLOAD PATH
If you want people to download the finished air-gap bundle from your website, upload this file to the OpenZero web root with this exact name:

openzero_offline_release.tar.gz

Then your stable public URL becomes:
