🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 2.7+
• Node.js 23+
• bun

Note for Windows Users: WSL 2 is required.

Use the Starter (Recommended)

git clone https://github.com/elizaos/eliza-starter.git
cd eliza-starter
cp .env.example .env
bun i && bun run build && bun start

Manually Start Eliza (Only recommended if you know what you are doing)

Checkout the latest release

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/elizaos/eliza.git

# This project iterates fast, so we recommend checking out the latest release
git checkout $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
# If the above doesn't checkout the latest release, this should work:
# git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)

Edit the .env file

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the appropriate values.

cp .env.example .env

Note: .env is optional. If you're planning to run multiple distinct agents, you can pass secrets through the character JSON

Start Eliza

Important! We now use Bun. If you are using npm, you will need to install Bun: https://bun.sh/docs/installation

bun install
bun run build # npm will work too
bun start # npm will work too

Interact via Browser

Once the agent is running, you can visit http://localhost:3000 to interact with your agent through a web interface. The interface provides:

• Real-time chat with your agent
• Character configuration options
• Plugin management
• Memory and conversation history
