genai-toolbox/docs/en/getting-started/quickstart/shared/configure_toolbox.md

In this section, we will download Toolbox, configure our tools in a tools.yaml, and then run the Toolbox server.

1. Download the latest version of Toolbox as a binary:

   {{< notice tip >}} Select the correct binary corresponding to your OS and CPU architecture. {{< /notice >}}

   export OS="linux/amd64" # one of linux/amd64, darwin/arm64, darwin/amd64, or windows/amd64
   curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/genai-toolbox/v0.17.0/$OS/toolbox
   

2. Make the binary executable:

   chmod +x toolbox
   

3. Write the following into a tools.yaml file. Be sure to update any fields such as user, password, or database that you may have customized in the previous step.

   {{< notice tip >}} In practice, use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME} instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file. {{< /notice >}}

   {{< notice note >}} Toolbox enables dynamic reloading by default. To disable, use the --disable-reload flag. {{< /notice >}}
