Installation

Requirements

Before running WorkingRoom, prepare the following requirements for your setup:

• For all setups: at least one AI provider API key
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and/or OPENAI_API_KEY
  • At least one of these keys is required to run the application.
• For local development:
  • Node.js 18-22
  • Yarn 4 or later (packageManager: yarn@4.5.3, engines.yarn: >=4.0.0)
  • corepack enable to use the repository-managed Yarn version

Local development uses the repository's committed .env.local defaults together with your shell environment variables for AI provider keys.

Using docker compose (Easiest way)

git clone https://github.com/kairo-inc/workingroom.git
cd workingroom

# Set up OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your shell environment variables.
# Then, run the following command to start the application using docker compose:
docker compose up

Then access http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the application.

Local development

git clone https://github.com/kairo-inc/workingroom.git
cd workingroom

# 1. Install dependencies
corepack enable
yarn install

# 2. Configure environment
# .env.local is committed with local development defaults
# Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and/or OPENAI_API_KEY in your shell environment

# 3. Initialize database
yarn prisma:dev

# 4. Start web app
yarn dev:web

Then access http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the application.
