👨‍💻 Developers

Flowise has 3 different modules in a single mono repository.

• server: Node backend to serve API logics
• ui: React frontend
• components: Third-party nodes integrations
• api-documentation: Auto-generated swagger-ui API docs from express

Prerequisite

• Install PNPM
  bash Copy

  npm i -g pnpm

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   bash Copy

   git clone https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise.git

2. Go into repository folder:

   bash Copy

   cd Flowise

3. Install all dependencies of all modules:

   bash Copy

   pnpm install

4. Build all the code:

   bash Copy

   pnpm build

   Exit code 134 (JavaScript heap out of memory)

   If you get this error when running the above `build` script, try increasing the Node.js heap size and run the script again:

   bash Copy

   # macOS / Linux / Git Bash
   export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"
   
   # Windows PowerShell
   $env:NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"
   
   # Windows CMD
   set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096

   Then run:

   bash Copy

   pnpm build

5. Start the app:

   bash Copy

   pnpm start

   You can now access the app on http://localhost:3000

6. For development build:

   • Create .env file and specify the VITE_PORT (refer to .env.example) in packages/ui

   • Create .env file and specify the PORT (refer to .env.example) in packages/server

   • Run:

     bash Copy

     pnpm dev

   Any code changes will reload the app automatically on http://localhost:8080
