Install and choose a workflow
Browser
Open converra.avilalabs.org. You can edit cases, import CSV/TSV/XLSX material tables, run searches and scenario studies, and download reports and review packages. Calculations run on your device in a Web Worker.
Draft recovery is specific to this browser on this device. Export a study workspace to keep a portable copy. Folder libraries, queues, directory comparisons and watch mode require desktop.
Desktop and CLI
Download an archive from GitHub Releases.
| Platform | Download |
|---|---|
| Windows x64 | Desktop, CLI and MCP ZIP |
| Linux x64 | Desktop, CLI and MCP archive |
| macOS Apple Silicon | App · CLI and MCP |
| macOS Intel | App · CLI and MCP |
Extract and launch Converra or Converra.app. The CLI is optcoil; the local agent server is optcoil-mcp. Windows adds .exe. No Rust installation is needed for these binaries. Verify the archives against the release’s SHA256SUMS. Linux desktop needs a graphical session and working graphics drivers.
The v0.2.0 archives predate several workflows documented here. The hosted workbench and current source contain the newer features.
Build current source
Install Rust. The repository pins Rust 1.95.0.
git clone https://github.com/AvilaLabs/Converra.git
cd Converra
cargo run --release -p optcoil-app
For headless use, cargo run --release -- --help builds the default CLI package. The internal crate and executable names retain optcoil.
To serve a local browser build, install Trunk 0.21.14 and the wasm32-unknown-unknown Rust target, then run trunk serve in crates/optcoil-app.
Keep private input files in ignored customer-data/ and generated calculations in ignored runs/.
