🏁 Quick Start

The fastest way to get EDDI running is the one-command installer. It sets up EDDI + your choice of database via Docker Compose and points you at the dashboard, where the Platform Operator (or the form-based agent wizard) creates your first AI agent for you.

Linux / macOS / WSL2:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/labsai/EDDI/main/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/labsai/EDDI/main/install.ps1" -OutFile "install.ps1"
Unblock-File .\install.ps1
.\install.ps1

Requires Docker. The wizard auto-generates a unique vault encryption key for secret management.

Everything is served from one port: http://localhost:7070 opens a chooser between the Manager (/manage, the admin dashboard) and the Workforce workspace (/workforce, group conversations), and the standalone chat UI is at /chat. See Getting Started.

🔧 Installer options

bash install.sh --defaults                 # All defaults, no prompts
bash install.sh --db=postgres --with-auth  # PostgreSQL + Keycloak
bash install.sh --full                     # Everything enabled (PostgreSQL + auth + monitoring)
bash install.sh --local                    # Build Docker image from local source
bash install.sh --eddi-version=6.5.0       # Pin a release (image and compose files from its tag)
bash install.sh --dry-run                  # Show the image tag and the git ref the files come from

With the default latest image, the compose files are downloaded from the newest release's tag (looked up through the GitHub API), not from main.

The --local flag is for contributors testing pre-release builds:

./mvnw package -DskipTests    # Build the Java app
bash install.sh --local        # Build Docker image + start containers

🔄 Updating

The installer creates an eddi CLI wrapper that makes updating easy:
