Get Wizard running.
Latest release v1.0.15 · published September 21, 2026
See what changed in the changelogbrew install Wizard-AIA/wizard/wizard && wizard init && wizard startHomebrew, Linux, Windows, and Scoop installations are global. After opening a new terminal when prompted, run wizard init and wizard start from any directory — no checkout or cd is required.
Python 3.12+, Node 20+, and either Ollama or LM Studio for local models. Docker Desktop is recommended but not required — code runs in a sandboxed subprocess without it.
Or grab a standalone binary
Five platform builds per release, cross-compiled and self-tested in CI.
After downloading
./cli/wizard init # checks Python 3.12+/Node 20+, installs dependencies./cli/wizard start # launches both in the background, opens a browser
Unzip first, then run these from inside the extracted folder. Open http://localhost:3000 once it starts — you don't need to install a model first, use /models in the app.
Docker Compose
One container per session, isolated by cap_drop=ALL. Backend on :8000, frontend on :3000.

Smaller sandbox image: SANDBOX_TIER=core docker compose up --build -d. No sandbox image at all: EXECUTION_BACKEND=host docker compose up -d.
