# Install and Quick Start
## Install
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This README may describe features that are available first in the latest source code.
> If you want the newest features and experiments, install from source.
> If you want the most stable day-to-day experience, install from PyPI or with `uv`.
**Install from source** (latest features, experimental changes may land here first; recommended for development)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/nanobot.git
cd nanobot
pip install -e .
```
**Install with [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv)** (stable release, fast)
```bash
uv tool install nanobot-ai
```
**Install from PyPI** (stable release)
```bash
pip install nanobot-ai
```
### Update to latest version
**PyPI / pip**
```bash
pip install -U nanobot-ai
nanobot --version
```
**uv**
```bash
uv tool upgrade nanobot-ai
nanobot --version
```
**Using WhatsApp?** Rebuild the local bridge after upgrading:
```bash
rm -rf ~/.nanobot/bridge
nanobot channels login whatsapp
```
## Quick Start
> [!TIP]
> Set your API key in `~/.nanobot/config.json`.
> Get API keys: [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/keys) (Global)
>
> For other LLM providers, please see [`configuration.md`](./configuration.md).
>
> For web search capability setup, please see the web-search section in [`configuration.md`](./configuration.md#web-search).
**1. Initialize**
```bash
nanobot onboard
```
Use `nanobot onboard --wizard` if you want the interactive setup wizard.
**2. Configure** (`~/.nanobot/config.json`)
Configure these **two parts** in your config (other options have defaults).
*Set your API key* (e.g. OpenRouter, recommended for global users):
```json
{
"providers": {
"openrouter": {
"apiKey": "sk-or-v1-xxx"
}
}
}
```
*Set your model* (optionally pin a provider — defaults to auto-detection):
```json
{
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
"provider": "openrouter"
}
}
}
```
**3. Chat**
```bash
nanobot agent
```
That's it! You have a working AI agent in 2 minutes.
