Project NOMAD - Knowledge That Never Goes Offline
Published: March 23, 2026
Video Description
I've been blown away by the response to Project Nomad, so here's the complete step-by-step installation guide you guys have been asking for. In this video, I walk you through installing Project Nomad on Ubuntu Desktop, from downloading the OS and creating a bootable USB drive all the way through setting up your offline knowledge library, local AI models, and maps. This is a full bare-metal install on a Minisforum MS-01 mini PC, but you can follow along with just about any x86 hardware you've got sitting around. Project Nomad is 100% free and open source, and by the end of this video you'll have your own offline encyclopedia, AI assistant, and map server running locally.
