1. Install Flowise
```bash
npm install -g flowise
```
2. Start Flowise
```bash
npx flowise start
```
With username & password
```bash
npx flowise start --FLOWISE_USERNAME=user --FLOWISE_PASSWORD=1234
```
3. Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
## π³ Docker
### Docker Compose
1. Go to `docker` folder at the root of the project
2. Create `.env` file and specify the `PORT` (refer to `.env.example`)
3. `docker-compose up -d`
4. Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
5. You can bring the containers down by `docker-compose stop`
### Docker Image
1. Build the image locally:
```bash
docker build --no-cache -t flowise .
```
2. Run image:
```bash
docker run -d --name flowise -p 3000:3000 flowise
```
3. Stop image:

## π¨βπ» Developers
Flowise has 3 different modules in a single mono repository.
- `server`: Node backend to serve API logics
- `ui`: React frontend
- `components`: Langchain components
### Prerequisite
- Install [Yarn v1](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
```bash
npm i -g yarn
```
### Setup
1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise.git
```
2. Go into repository folder
```bash
cd Flowise
```
3. Install all dependencies of all modules:
```bash
yarn install
```
4. Build all the code:
```bash
yarn build
```
5. Start the app:
```bash
yarn start
```
You can now access the app on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
6. For development build:
- Create `.env` file and specify the `PORT` (refer to `.env.example`) in `packages/ui`
- Create `.env` file and specify the `PORT` (refer to `.env.example`) in `packages/server`
- Run
```bash
yarn dev
```
Any code changes will reload the app automatically on [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)
## π Authentication
