GETTING STARTED

Quick Start

Official CoPaw quick start instructions for installing the runtime, opening the browser console, and connecting a first channel before heavier customization.

Before you begin

A local machine with Python or Docker is enough to start. If you already have provider credentials ready, you can move through the first run quickly.

  • Choose whether you want a script install, pip install, or Docker path.
  • Decide which model provider you want to test first.
  • Pick one channel or console-only setup for the initial run.

First run

The goal is not a perfect setup. The goal is to reach a working console and one usable operating path so the rest of the docs have a live system to point at.

  1. Install CoPaw with the bootstrap script or your preferred package manager.
  2. Open the browser console and set a provider or local model backend.
  3. Connect one channel, then send a test message and inspect the resulting state.
Example install
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.sh | bash
