Agent Zero Banner # Agent Zero ### A full Linux system for your AI agent. Agent Zero is an open, dynamic, organic agentic framework. One Docker container ships a full Linux system with a desktop and a plugin hub that the agent can extend using Skills.

Agent Zero Installation Guide
# How To Install Choose the install path that matches your machine. | Path | Best for | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | **A0 Launcher** | Desktop users who want the guided path | Downloads Agent Zero, creates and manages local Instances, and helps set up the container runtime when needed. | | **A0 Install** | Terminals, SSH sessions, servers, and scripted setup | Installs Agent Zero from the command line, reuses an existing Docker-compatible runtime first, and can run headlessly. | | **Docker** | Machines that already have Docker ready | Runs the Agent Zero container directly. | ## A0 Launcher The desktop **A0 Launcher** is the recommended way to install Agent Zero on a personal machine. Download the Launcher, open it, and let it check your local runtime. If Docker is missing or stopped, the Launcher offers a setup path before it downloads Agent Zero. If you already host Agent Zero elsewhere, add it as a remote Instance and use the Launcher without local Docker setup. ### Downloads | Architecture | macOS | Linux | Windows | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | x86 | [Mac Intel](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases/download/v1.2/a0-launcher-1.2-macos-x64.dmg) | [Linux x86](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases/download/v1.2/a0-launcher-1.2-linux-x64.AppImage) | [Windows x86](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases/download/v1.2/a0-launcher-1.2-windows-x64.exe) | | ARM64 | [Mac Apple Silicon](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases/download/v1.2/a0-launcher-1.2-macos-arm64.dmg) | [Linux ARM64](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases/download/v1.2/a0-launcher-1.2-linux-arm64.AppImage) | [Windows ARM64](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases/download/v1.2/a0-launcher-1.2-windows-arm64.exe) | See the [A0 Launcher v1.2 release](https://github.com/agent0ai/a0-launcher/releases/tag/v1.2) for release notes and updater metadata. See the [Launcher guide](./docs/guides/launcher.md) for the first-run walkthrough. ## A0 Install Use **A0 Install** when you want the terminal path: SSH sessions, servers, recovery shells, or a scriptable setup. It creates Dockerized Agent Zero instances, mounts each instance's data into `/a0/usr` inside the container, and uses a reuse-before-setup policy: it tries your current Docker CLI configuration, `DOCKER_HOST`, Docker contexts, and known local Docker-compatible endpoints before setting up a runtime. ### macOS / Linux ```bash curl -fsSL https://bash.agent-zero.ai | bash ``` ### Windows PowerShell ```powershell irm https://ps.agent-zero.ai | iex ``` ### Headless / scripted For servers and automation, run the installer in Quick Start mode so it creates one instance and exits without opening menus: ```bash curl -fsSL https://bash.agent-zero.ai | bash -s -- --quick-start --name agent-zero --port 5080 ``` ```powershell & ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://ps.agent-zero.ai))) -QuickStart -Name agent-zero -Port 5080 ``` Use `--skip-runtime-setup` / `-SkipRuntimeSetup` when Docker mus ``` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/agent0ai-agent-zero`](/api/graphcanon/tools/agent0ai-agent-zero) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
