# Setup Guide
|
|
|
|
Quick setup instructions for DeerFlow.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Setup
|
|
|
|
DeerFlow uses a YAML configuration file that should be placed in the **project root directory**.
|
|
|
|
### Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Navigate to project root**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /path/to/deer-flow
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Copy example configuration**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Edit configuration**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Option A: Set environment variables (recommended)
|
|
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
|
|
|
|
# Option B: Edit config.yaml directly
|
|
vim config.yaml # or your preferred editor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Verify configuration**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd backend
|
|
python -c "from deerflow.config import get_app_config; print('✓ Config loaded:', get_app_config().models[0].name)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Important Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Location**: `config.yaml` should be in `deer-flow/` (project root), not `deer-flow/backend/`
|
|
- **Git**: `config.yaml` is automatically ignored by git (contains secrets)
|
|
- **Priority**: If both `backend/config.yaml` and `../config.yaml` exist, backend version takes precedence
|
|
|
|
## Configuration File Locations
|
|
|
|
The backend searches for `config.yaml` in this order:
|
|
|
|
1. `DEER_FLOW_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable (if set)
|
|
2. `backend/config.yaml` (current directory when running from backend/)
|
|
3. `deer-flow/config.yaml` (parent directory - **recommended location**)
|
|
|
|
**Recommended**: Place `config.yaml` in project root (`deer-flow/config.yaml`).
|
|
|
|
## Sandbox Setup (Optional but Recommended)
|
|
|
|
If you plan to use Docker/Container-based sandbox (configured in `config.yaml` under `sandbox.use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider`), it's highly recommended to pre-pull the container image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# From project root
|
|
make setup-sandbox
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why pre-pull?**
|
|
- The sandbox image (~500MB+) is pulled on first use, causing a long wait
|
|
- Pre-pulling provides clear progress indication
|
|
- Avoids confusion when first using the agent
|
|
|
|
If you skip this step, the image will be automatically pulled on first agent execution, which may take several minutes depending on your network speed.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Config file not found
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check where the backend is looking
|
|
cd deer-flow/backend
|
|
python -c "from deerflow.config.app_config import AppConfig; print(AppConfig.resolve_config_path())"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If it can't find the config:
|
|
1. Ensure you've copied `config.example.yaml` to `config.yaml`
|
|
2. Verify you're in the correct directory
|
|
3. Check the file exists: `ls -la ../config.yaml`
|
|
|
|
### Permission denied
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod 600 ../config.yaml # Protect sensitive configuration
|
|
```
