Install it on your own machine

Three steps, about two minutes. Once installed it never touches the network again — which is why documents you cannot share are safe with it.

Not sure yet? Try it without installing.

The browser demo runs the same engine on fictional data. Nothing to install, nothing to uninstall.

1

Check Python is there

Open Terminal (macOS: ⌘+Space, type "terminal") and paste this. A version number means you are ready.

python3 --version

Nothing appears, or "command not found"? Install Python from python.org — the standard installer, no options to change — then come back to this step.

2

Install Vera

One line. It downloads about 1 MB and takes a few seconds.

python3 -m pip install "verantyx-vera[docs]"

The [docs] part adds PDF and Word reading. Leave it out and it still runs, but only on plain text and HTML.

3

Open it

This opens the app in your browser. It runs entirely on your own machine — nothing is sent anywhere.

vera field

To stop it, go back to Terminal and press Control+C. To start it again another day, run the same line.

If something goes wrong

“vera: command not found”

Use python3 -m verantyx.cli field instead. It does exactly the same thing; only the shortcut is missing.

The browser did not open

Type http://127.0.0.1:8900 into the address bar yourself. The app is already running.

A PDF was refused

A scanned PDF is a picture of text, and no software can pull letters out of it without OCR. Try a PDF where you can select the text with the mouse, or the Word/HTML original.

Our network blocks installs

Install it on a machine that can reach the internet, then copy the whole folder across. It never needs a network to run — only to be installed.
