get Pip on your PC

Download Pip for Windows

One setup, about 35 MB, no admin rights. It installs the Pip add-in for your mine design software, the Pip server and Node.js, checks for Claude Code (or the Codex app, for ChatGPT) and WebView2, and Pip appears the next time you start your design software.

The licence, in short

  • Yours to use, not to pass on. Pip is licensed to you for your own mine planning work. You may not copy, share, sell or distribute it, or any part of it.
  • No taking it apart. You may not decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer Pip, by hand or with AI tools, nor work around the Pro pack's signature and key checks.
  • You check every design and answer. Pip's designs, checks and answers are produced with an AI model. They are suggestions: you judge each one against your own engineering judgement and your site's standards before you rely on it or send anything underground.
  • No warranty, no liability. Pip is provided as is. The developer accepts no liability for any loss, damage or decision made on the basis of Pip's output.

The full text is the Pip licence agreement (English and 中文). Installing Pip accepts it; the setup asks you to tick it again.

What you need

NeededWhy
Windows 10 or 11Pip runs beside your design software on the PC.
Your licensed mine design softwareA supported version; the setup lists what it finds. Pip is independent of the software's maker.
Claude Code or the Codex app, signed inPip's AI, through your own Claude account (Claude Code) or your own ChatGPT account (the Codex app from the Microsoft Store). One is enough. The setup offers the installer and the sign-in.
Microsoft Edge WebView2Draws Pip's windows. Part of Windows 11; the setup offers it on Windows 10.
Git for WindowsOnly for Pip Pro (skills and the Pro pack come from GitHub).

Nothing else: Node.js comes with the setup, and the .NET runtime comes with your design software. No admin rights are needed; Pip installs for your Windows user only.

What the setup does

  1. Checks what is on the PC and offers what is missing.
  2. Installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Pip: the add-in for each supported version of your design software, the Pip server and Node.js.
  3. Registers the add-in so it loads when your design software starts; no plugin manager steps.
  4. Keeps your data on updates: chats, notes, Pip's SSH key and synced skills stay in server\.companion.

Start your design software (or restart it if it is open) and Pip stands on its window. The first start takes a few seconds while the Pip server comes up.

Pip Pro

The setup installs the free Pip. Pip Pro, the design and editing actions and the skills, comes to your PC through GitHub with a key you make in Pip's Settings → Start upgrade; see Pricing and Skills from GitHub.

Updating

Run the newest setup over the old one (the same line of PowerShell, or the file). It stops the old Pip server, replaces the program files and keeps your data. Restart your design software afterwards.

Removing Pip

Windows Settings → Installed apps → Pip → Uninstall; or the setup's Remove Pip button; or Pip-Setup.exe /uninstall. Removal deletes the install folder with the chats, notes, Pip's SSH key and synced skills, and the add-in registrations. Claude Code, Git and your design software stay.
