Sim Studio is a lightweight, user-friendly platform for building AI agent workflows.
-## Run
+
+
+
-1. Run on our [cloud-hosted version](https://simstudio.ai)
-2. Self-host
+## Getting Started
-## How to Self-Host
+1. Use our [cloud-hosted version](https://simstudio.ai)
+2. Self-host using one of the methods below
-There are several ways to self-host Sim Studio:
+## Self-Hosting Options
-### Option 1: Docker Environment (Recommended)
+### Option 1: NPM Package (Simplest)
+
+The easiest way to run Sim Studio locally is using our [NPM package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/simstudio?activeTab=readme):
+
+```bash
+npx simstudio
+```
+
+After running these commands, open [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) in your browser.
+
+#### Options
+
+- `-p, --port `: Specify the port to run Sim Studio on (default: 3000)
+- `--no-pull`: Skip pulling the latest Docker images
+
+#### Requirements
+
+- Docker must be installed and running on your machine
+
+### Option 2: Docker Compose
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
-# Create environment file and update with required environment variables (BETTER_AUTH_SECRET)
-cd apps/sim
-cp .env.example .env
-
-# Start Sim Studio using the provided script
-docker compose up -d --build
-
-or
-
-./start_simstudio_docker.sh
-```
-
-After running these commands:
-
-1. **Access the Application**:
-
- - Open [http://localhost:3000/w/](http://localhost:3000/w/) in your browser
- - The `/w/` path is where the main workspace interface is located
-
-2. **Useful Docker Commands**:
-
- ```bash
- # View application logs
- docker compose logs -f simstudio
-
- # Access PostgreSQL database
- docker compose exec db psql -U postgres -d simstudio
-
- # Stop the environment
- docker compose down
-
- # Rebuild and restart (after code changes)
- docker compose up -d --build
- ```
-
-#### Working with Local Models
-
-To use local models with Sim Studio, follow these steps:
-
-1. **Pull Local Models**
-
- ```bash
- # Run the ollama_docker.sh script to pull the required models
- ./apps/sim/scripts/ollama_docker.sh pull
- ```
-
-2. **Start Sim Studio with Local Models**
-
- ```bash
- #Start Sim Studio with local model support
- ./start_simstudio_docker.sh --local
-
- # or
-
- # Start Sim Studio with local model support if you have nvidia GPU
- docker compose up --profile local-gpu -d --build
-
- # or
-
- # Start Sim Studio with local model support if you don't have nvidia GPU
- docker compose up --profile local-cpu -d --build
- ```
-
-The application will now be configured to use your local models. You can access it at [http://localhost:3000/w/](http://localhost:3000/w/).
-
-#### Connecting to Existing Ollama Instance
-
-If you already have an Ollama instance running on your host machine, you can connect to it using one of these methods:
-
-```bash
-# Method 1: Use host networking (simplest approach)
-docker compose up --profile local-cpu -d --build --network=host
-```
-
-Or modify your docker-compose.yml:
-
-```yaml
-# Method 2: Add host.docker.internal mapping
-services:
- simstudio:
- # ... existing configuration ...
- extra_hosts:
- - 'host.docker.internal:host-gateway'
- environment:
- - OLLAMA_HOST=http://host.docker.internal:11434
-```
-
-### Option 2: Dev Containers
-
-1. Open VS Code or your favorite VS Code fork (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
-2. Install the [Remote - Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers)
-3. Open the project in your editor
-4. Click "Reopen in Container" when prompted
-5. The environment will automatically be set up
-6. Run `bun run dev` in the terminal or use the `sim-start` alias
-
-### Option 3: Manual Setup
-
-1. **Install Dependencies**
-
-```bash
-# Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
+# Navigate to the project directory
cd sim
-# Install dependencies
+# Start Sim Studio
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+Access the application at [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)
+
+#### Using Local Models
+
+To use local models with Sim Studio:
+
+1. Pull models using our helper script:
+
+```bash
+./apps/sim/scripts/ollama_docker.sh pull
+```
+
+2. Start Sim Studio with local model support:
+
+```bash
+# With NVIDIA GPU support
+docker compose up --profile local-gpu -d --build
+
+# Without GPU (CPU only)
+docker compose up --profile local-cpu -d --build
+```
+
+### Option 3: Dev Containers
+
+1. Open VS Code with the [Remote - Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers)
+2. Open the project and click "Reopen in Container" when prompted
+3. Run `bun run dev` in the terminal or use the `sim-start` alias
+
+### Option 4: Manual Setup
+
+1. Clone and install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
+cd sim
bun install
```
-2. **Set Up Environment**
+2. Set up environment:
```bash
cd apps/sim
-cp .env.example .env # or create a new .env file
-
-# Configure your .env file with the required environment variables:
-# - Database connection (PostgreSQL)
-# - Authentication settings (Better-Auth Secret, Better-Auth URL)
+cp .env.example .env # Configure with required variables (DATABASE_URL, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, BETTER_AUTH_URL)
```
-⚠️ **Important Notes:**
-
-- If `RESEND_API_KEY` is not set, verification codes for login/signup will be logged to the console.
-- You can use these logged codes for testing authentication locally.
-- For production environments, you should set up a proper email provider.
-
-3. **Set Up Database**
+3. Set up the database:
```bash
-# Push the database schema
-cd apps/sim
bunx drizzle-kit push
```
-4. **Start Development Server**
+4. Start the development server:
```bash
-# Start the development server
-cd ../..
bun run dev
```
-5. **Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in your browser**
