### Option A: pip install (Recommended for Python-managed local setup)

Dependencies needed:
- [Python 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

Additionally, for Windows:
- [Rust](https://rustup.rs/)
- VS Code with C++ dev tools and Windows SDK

#### 1. Install Skyvern

```bash
pip install "skyvern[all]"
```

#### 2. Run Skyvern

```bash
skyvern quickstart
```

The pip quickstart uses SQLite by default. For a local Postgres container, run `skyvern quickstart --postgres`.

---

### Option B: Docker Compose

Use this option if you want everything containerized (Postgres, API, UI) and don't want to install Python/Node locally.

1. Install [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)
2. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/skyvern-ai/skyvern.git && cd skyvern
   ```
3. Configure your LLM provider in `.env` (the `quickstart --docker-compose` command below will create it from `.env.example` if missing):
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env  # if not already created
   # edit .env to add your LLM API key
   ```
4. Start everything:
   ```bash
   docker compose up -d
   ```
5. Open http://localhost:8080

---

### Quick Start Examples

**Run via UI:**
```bash
skyvern run all
```
Navigate to http://localhost:8080 to run tasks through the web interface. If the packaged UI is missing, `skyvern run ui` will offer to install the matching UI package. For non-interactive setup, use `skyvern run ui --install-ui` or `skyvern run all --install-ui`.

To run only the packaged UI against an existing Skyvern API, install `skyvern[ui]` and pass
`--api-url`; the CLI infers `--wss-url` from the API URL unless you override it. You can also set
`VITE_API_BASE_URL`, `VITE_WSS_BASE_URL`, `VITE_ARTIFACT_API_BASE_URL`, `VITE_SKYVERN_API_KEY`,
and `VITE_BROWSER_STREAMING_MODE` before running `skyvern run ui`.

**Python SDK:**
```python
from skyvern import Skyvern
