🚀 Getting Started with Open Source Cowork
🔓 Build in Public — Eigent is 100% open source from day one. Every feature, every commit, every decision is transparent. We believe the best AI tools should be built openly with the community, not behind closed doors.
🏠 Local Deployment (Recommended)
The recommended way to run Eigent — fully standalone with complete control over your data, no cloud account required.
This setup includes:
- Local backend server with full API
- Local model integration (vLLM, Ollama, LM Studio, etc.)
- Complete isolation from cloud services
- Zero external dependencies
⚡ Quick Start (Cloud-Connected)
For a quick preview using our cloud backend — get started in seconds:
Prerequisites
- Node.js (version 18-22) and npm
Steps
git clone https://github.com/eigent-ai/eigent.git
cd eigent
npm install
npm run dev
Note: This mode connects to Eigent cloud services and requires account registration. For a fully standalone experience, use Local Deployment instead.
Updating Dependencies
After pulling new code (git pull), update both frontend and backend dependencies:
# 1. Update frontend dependencies (in project root)
npm install
# 2. Update backend/Python dependencies (in backend directory)
cd backend
