Setup guide

OpenFang setup

Install OpenFang, initialize a workspace, start the local dashboard, and verify that your first autonomous agent workflow is ready to test.

What OpenFang installs

OpenFang is an open-source agent operating system distributed as a single binary for running autonomous workflows from a local dashboard.

  • Local dashboard after startup.
  • Scheduled agent runs.
  • Progress reporting.
  • Hands for research, lead generation, browser automation, and other workflows.

Install on macOS or Linux

curl -fsSL https://openfang.sh/install | sh
openfang init
openfang start
# Dashboard: http://localhost:4200

Install on Windows

irm https://openfang.sh/install.ps1 | iex
openfang init
openfang start

First verification

After startup, open the dashboard and run one low-risk hand before connecting business-critical credentials or recurring tasks.

  • Confirm the openfang command responds.
  • Open the dashboard URL.
  • Run a small research or test workflow.
  • Keep production credentials separate until behavior is stable.

Final checklist

  • The installation command or dashboard opens correctly.
  • You tested with a small, low-risk workflow first.
  • Credentials and business data are not stored in public files.
  • You know how to stop, restart, and inspect logs for the workflow.
