Install Thorg
Pre-Requisites
You are ok with missing functionality
We are filling in missing functionally to ergonomically run as standalone but for now we also recommend running Dendron next to Thorg for some of functionality.
You have a few hundred megabytes of RAM to spare
- Why: We run a JVM service thorgServer to power Thorg's functionality. This enables more advanced search filtering commands like Quick Search, In Subtree, Visited Since.
- By default, Thorg server starts with 1GB allocated to Java max heap space. You can lower this in the configuration (see thorg.startupSetup.serverMaxHeapSpaceMB - VSCode Config).
- Note: We have successfully run a 10,000 note test workspace (with 80MB of notes) with only 512MB max heap allocated.
- Also note that while the default max heap space is set to 1GB, this does not mean JVM/ThorgServer will use the full 1GB--it can operate with much less RAM.
