## **🚀 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](./server/README_EN.md)**

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

```bash
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](#-local-deployment-recommended) instead.

#### Updating Dependencies

After pulling new code (`git pull`), update both frontend and backend dependencies:

```bash
# 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
