🚀 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.

👉 Full Local Deployment Guide

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
uv sync

🏢 Enterprise

For organizations requiring maximum security, customization, and control:

• Exclusive Features (like SSO & custom development)
• Scalable Enterprise Deployment
• Negotiated SLAs & implementation services
