Quick Installation

Follow these steps to get the Griptape Nodes engine running on your system:

1. Login: Visit Griptape Nodes and log in or sign up using your Griptape Cloud credentials.

2. Install Command: Once logged in, you'll find a setup screen. Copy the installation command provided in the "New Installation" section. It will look similar to this (use the exact command provided on the website):

   curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/griptape-ai/griptape-nodes/main/install.sh | bash
   

3. Run Installer: Open a terminal on your machine (local or cloud environment) and paste/run the command. The installer uses uv for fast installation; if uv isn't present, the script will typically handle installing it.

4. Initial Configuration (Automatic on First Run):

   • The first time you run the engine command (griptape-nodes or gtn), it will guide you through the initial setup:
   • Workspace Directory: You'll be prompted to choose a directory where Griptape Nodes will store configurations, project files, secrets (.env), and generated assets. You can accept the default (<current_directory>/GriptapeNodes) or specify a custom path.
   • Griptape Cloud API Key: Return to the Griptape Nodes setup page in your browser, click "Generate API Key", copy the key, and paste it when prompted in the terminal.

5. Start the Engine: After configuration, start the engine by running:

   griptape-nodes
   

   (or the shorter alias gtn)

6. Connect Workflow Editor: Refresh the Griptape Nodes Workflow Editor page in your browser. It should now connect to your running engine.

You're now ready to start building flows! For more detailed setup options and troubleshooting, see the full Setup Guide.
