-- **Use the enhance prompt icon**: Before sending your prompt, try clicking the 'enhance' icon to have the AI model help you refine your prompt, then edit the results before submitting.
+- **Scaffold the basics first, then add features**:
+ Ensure the foundational structure of your application is in place before introducing advanced functionality. This helps bolt.diy establish a solid base to build on.
-- **Scaffold the basics first, then add features**: Make sure the basic structure of your application is in place before diving into more advanced functionality. This helps Bolt.diy understand the foundation of your project and ensure everything is wired up right before building out more advanced functionality.
+- **Batch simple instructions**:
+ Combine simple tasks into a single prompt to save time and reduce API credit consumption. For example:
+ *"Change the color scheme, add mobile responsiveness, and restart the dev server."*

+How do I contribute to bolt.diy?
-### Why are there so many open issues/pull requests?
+Check out our [Contribution Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more details on how to get involved!
+
-bolt.diy was started simply to showcase how to edit an open source project and to do something cool with local LLMs on my (@ColeMedin) YouTube channel! However, it quickly grew into a massive community project that I am working hard to keep up with the demand of by forming a team of maintainers and getting as many people involved as I can. That effort is going well and all of our maintainers are ABSOLUTE rockstars, but it still takes time to organize everything so we can efficiently get through all the issues and PRs. But rest assured, we are working hard and even working on some partnerships behind the scenes to really help this project take off!
+
+What are the future plans for bolt.diy?
-### How do local LLMs fair compared to larger models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet for bolt.diy/bolt.new?
+Visit our [Roadmap](https://roadmap.sh/r/ottodev-roadmap-2ovzo) for the latest updates.
+New features and improvements are on the way!
+
-As much as the gap is quickly closing between open source and massive close source models, you’re still going to get the best results with the very large models like GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and DeepSeek Coder V2 236b. This is one of the big tasks we have at hand - figuring out how to prompt better, use agents, and improve the platform as a whole to make it work better for even the smaller local LLMs!
+
+Why are there so many open issues/pull requests?
-### I'm getting the error: "There was an error processing this request"
+bolt.diy began as a small showcase project on @ColeMedin's YouTube channel to explore editing open-source projects with local LLMs. However, it quickly grew into a massive community effort!
-If you see this error within bolt.diy, that is just the application telling you there is a problem at a high level, and this could mean a number of different things. To find the actual error, please check BOTH the terminal where you started the application (with Docker or pnpm) and the developer console in the browser. For most browsers, you can access the developer console by pressing F12 or right clicking anywhere in the browser and selecting “Inspect”. Then go to the “console” tab in the top right.
+We're forming a team of maintainers to manage demand and streamline issue resolution. The maintainers are rockstars, and we're also exploring partnerships to help the project thrive.
+
-### I'm getting the error: "x-api-key header missing"
+
+How do local LLMs compare to larger models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet for bolt.diy?
-We have seen this error a couple times and for some reason just restarting the Docker container has fixed it. This seems to be Ollama specific. Another thing to try is try to run bolt.diy with Docker or pnpm, whichever you didn’t run first. We are still on the hunt for why this happens once and a while!
+While local LLMs are improving rapidly, larger models like GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and DeepSeek Coder V2 236b still offer the best results for complex applications. Our ongoing focus is to improve prompts, agents, and the platform to better support smaller local LLMs.
+
-### I'm getting a blank preview when bolt.diy runs my app!
+
+Common Errors and Troubleshooting
-We promise you that we are constantly testing new PRs coming into bolt.diy and the preview is core functionality, so the application is not broken! When you get a blank preview or don’t get a preview, this is generally because the LLM hallucinated bad code or incorrect commands. We are working on making this more transparent so it is obvious. Sometimes the error will appear in developer console too so check that as well.
+### **"There was an error processing this request"**
+This generic error message means something went wrong. Check both:
+- The terminal (if you started the app with Docker or `pnpm`).
+- The developer console in your browser (press `F12` or right-click > *Inspect*, then go to the *Console* tab).
-### Everything works but the results are bad
+### **"x-api-key header missing"**
+This error is sometimes resolved by restarting the Docker container.
+If that doesn't work, try switching from Docker to `pnpm` or vice versa. We're actively investigating this issue.
-This goes to the point above about how local LLMs are getting very powerful but you still are going to see better (sometimes much better) results with the largest LLMs like GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and DeepSeek Coder V2 236b. If you are using smaller LLMs like Qwen-2.5-Coder, consider it more experimental and educational at this point. It can build smaller applications really well, which is super impressive for a local LLM, but for larger scale applications you want to use the larger LLMs still!
+### **Blank preview when running the app**
+A blank preview often occurs due to hallucinated bad code or incorrect commands.
+To troubleshoot:
+- Check the developer console for errors.
+- Remember, previews are core functionality, so the app isn't broken! We're working on making these errors more transparent.
-### Received structured exception #0xc0000005: access violation
+### **"Everything works, but the results are bad"**
+Local LLMs like Qwen-2.5-Coder are powerful for small applications but still experimental for larger projects. For better results, consider using larger models like GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, or DeepSeek Coder V2 236b.
+### **"Received structured exception #0xc0000005: access violation"**
If you are getting this, you are probably on Windows. The fix is generally to update the [Visual C++ Redistributable](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
-### How to add an LLM:
+### **"Miniflare or Wrangler errors in Windows"**
+You will need to make sure you have the latest version of Visual Studio C++ installed (14.40.33816), more information here https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy/issues/19.
+
-To make new LLMs available to use in this version of bolt.new, head on over to `app/utils/constants.ts` and find the constant MODEL_LIST. Each element in this array is an object that has the model ID for the name (get this from the provider's API documentation), a label for the frontend model dropdown, and the provider.
+---
-By default, many providers are already implemented, but the YouTube video for this repo covers how to extend this to work with more providers if you wish!
-
-When you add a new model to the MODEL_LIST array, it will immediately be available to use when you run the app locally or reload it.

-## What Makes bolt.diy Different
+## Setup
-Claude, v0, etc are incredible- but you can't install packages, run backends, or edit code. That’s where bolt.diy stands out:
+If you're new to installing software from GitHub, don't worry! If you encounter any issues, feel free to submit an "issue" using the provided links or improve this documentation by forking the repository, editing the instructions, and submitting a pull request. The following instruction will help you get the stable branch up and running on your local machine in no time.
-- **Full-Stack in the Browser**: bolt.diy integrates cutting-edge AI models with an in-browser development environment powered by **StackBlitz’s WebContainers**. This allows you to:
- - Install and run npm tools and libraries (like Vite, Next.js, and more)
- - Run Node.js servers
- - Interact with third-party APIs
- - Deploy to production from chat
- - Share your work via a URL
+### Prerequisites
-- **AI with Environment Control**: Unlike traditional dev environments where the AI can only assist in code generation, bolt.diy gives AI models **complete control** over the entire environment including the filesystem, node server, package manager, terminal, and browser console. This empowers AI agents to handle the whole app lifecycle—from creation to deployment.
+1. **Install Git**: [Download Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
+2. **Install Node.js**: [Download Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
-Whether you’re an experienced developer, a PM, or a designer, bolt.diy allows you to easily build production-grade full-stack applications.
+ - After installation, the Node.js path is usually added to your system automatically. To verify:
+ - **Windows**: Search for "Edit the system environment variables," click "Environment Variables," and check if `Node.js` is in the `Path` variable.
+ - **Mac/Linux**: Open a terminal and run:
+ ```bash
+ echo $PATH
+ ```
+ Look for `/usr/local/bin` in the output.
-For developers interested in building their own AI-powered development tools with WebContainers, check out the open-source Bolt codebase in this repo!
+### Clone the Repository
+
+Alternatively, you can download the latest version of the project directly from the [Releases Page](https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy/releases/latest). Simply download the .zip file, extract it, and proceed with the setup instructions below. If you are comfertiable using git then run the command below.
+
+Clone the repository using Git:
+
+```bash
+git clone -b stable https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy
+```

-## Setup
+### Entering API Keys
-Many of you are new users to installing software from Github. If you have any installation troubles reach out and submit an "issue" using the links above, or feel free to enhance this documentation by forking, editing the instructions, and doing a pull request.
+There are two ways to configure your API keys in bolt.diy:
-1. [Install Git from](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
+#### 1. Set API Keys in the `.env.local` File
-2. [Install Node.js from](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
+When setting up the application, you will need to add your API keys for the LLMs you wish to use. You can do this by renaming the `.env.example` file to `.env.local` and adding your API keys there.
-Pay attention to the installer notes after completion.
+- On **Mac**, you can find the file at `[your name]/bolt.diy/.env.example`.
+- On **Windows/Linux**, the path will be similar.
-On all operating systems, the path to Node.js should automatically be added to your system path. But you can check your path if you want to be sure. On Windows, you can search for "edit the system environment variables" in your system, select "Environment Variables..." once you are in the system properties, and then check for a path to Node in your "Path" system variable. On a Mac or Linux machine, it will tell you to check if /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH. To determine if usr/local/bin is included in $PATH open your Terminal and run:
+If you can't see the file, it's likely because hidden files are not being shown. On **Mac**, open a Terminal window and enter the following command to show hidden files:
-```
-echo $PATH .
-```
-
-If you see usr/local/bin in the output then you're good to go.
-
-3. Clone the repository (if you haven't already) by opening a Terminal window (or CMD with admin permissions) and then typing in this:
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy.git
-```
-
-3. Rename .env.example to .env.local and add your LLM API keys. You will find this file on a Mac at "[your name]/bolt.diy/.env.example". For Windows and Linux the path will be similar.
-
-
-
-If you can't see the file indicated above, its likely you can't view hidden files. On Mac, open a Terminal window and enter this command below. On Windows, you will see the hidden files option in File Explorer Settings. A quick Google search will help you if you are stuck here.
-
-```
+```bash
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
```
-**NOTE**: you only have to set the ones you want to use and Ollama doesn't need an API key because it runs locally on your computer:
-
-[Get your GROQ API Key here](https://console.groq.com/keys)
-
-[Get your Open AI API Key by following these instructions](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936850-where-do-i-find-my-openai-api-key)
-
-Get your Anthropic API Key in your [account settings](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys)
+Make sure to add your API keys for each provider you want to use, for example:
```
GROQ_API_KEY=XXX
@@ -97,81 +93,108 @@ OPENAI_API_KEY=XXX
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=XXX
```
-Optionally, you can set the debug level:
+Once you've set your keys, you can proceed with running the app. You will set these keys up during the initial setup, and you can revisit and update them later after the app is running.
-```
-VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug
-```
+**Note**: Never commit your `.env.local` file to version control. It’s already included in the `.gitignore`.
-**Important**: Never commit your `.env.local` file to version control. It's already included in .gitignore.
+#### 2. Configure API Keys Directly in the Application
-## Run with Docker
+Alternatively, you can configure your API keys directly in the application once it's running. To do this:
-Prerequisites:
+1. Launch the application and navigate to the provider selection dropdown.
+2. Select the provider you wish to configure.
+3. Click the pencil icon next to the selected provider.
+4. Enter your API key in the provided field.
-Git and Node.js as mentioned above, as well as Docker: https://www.docker.com/
+This method allows you to easily add or update your keys without needing to modify files directly.
-### 1a. Using Helper Scripts
+Once you've configured your keys, the application will be ready to use the selected LLMs.
-NPM scripts are provided for convenient building:
-
-```bash
-# Development build
-npm run dockerbuild
-
-# Production build
-npm run dockerbuild:prod
-```
-
-### 1b. Direct Docker Build Commands (alternative to using NPM scripts)
-
-You can use Docker's target feature to specify the build environment instead of using NPM scripts if you wish:
-
-```bash
-# Development build
-docker build . --target bolt-ai-development
-
-# Production build
-docker build . --target bolt-ai-production
-```
-
-### 2. Docker Compose with Profiles to Run the Container
-
-Use Docker Compose profiles to manage different environments:
-
-```bash
-# Development environment
-docker-compose --profile development up
-
-# Production environment
-docker-compose --profile production up
-```
-
-When you run the Docker Compose command with the development profile, any changes you
-make on your machine to the code will automatically be reflected in the site running
-on the container (i.e. hot reloading still applies!).
---
-## Run Without Docker
+## Run the Application
-1. Install dependencies using Terminal (or CMD in Windows with admin permissions):
+### Option 1: Without Docker
-```
-pnpm install
-```
+1. **Install Dependencies**:
+ ```bash
+ pnpm install
+ ```
+ If `pnpm` is not installed, install it using:
+ ```bash
+ sudo npm install -g pnpm
+ ```
-If you get an error saying "command not found: pnpm" or similar, then that means pnpm isn't installed. You can install it via this:
+2. **Start the Application**:
+ ```bash
+ pnpm run dev
+ ```
+ This will start the Remix Vite development server. You will need Google Chrome Canary to run this locally if you use Chrome! It's an easy install and a good browser for web development anyway.
-```
-sudo npm install -g pnpm
-```
+### Option 2: With Docker
-2. Start the application with the command:
+#### Prerequisites
+- Ensure Git, Node.js, and Docker are installed: [Download Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
-```bash
-pnpm run dev
-```
+#### Steps
+
+1. **Build the Docker Image**:
+
+ Use the provided NPM scripts:
+ ```bash
+ npm run dockerbuild
+ ```
+
+ Alternatively, use Docker commands directly:
+ ```bash
+ docker build . --target bolt-ai-development
+ ```
+
+2. **Run the Container**:
+ Use Docker Compose profiles to manage environments:
+ ```bash
+ docker-compose --profile development up
+ ```
+
+ - With the development profile, changes to your code will automatically reflect in the running container (hot reloading).
+
+---
+
+### Update Your Local Version to the Latest
+
+To keep your local version of bolt.diy up to date with the latest changes, follow these steps for your operating system:
+
+#### 1. **Navigate to your project folder**
+ Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository and open a terminal:
+
+#### 2. **Fetch the Latest Changes**
+ Use Git to pull the latest changes from the main repository:
+
+ ```bash
+ git pull origin main
+ ```
+
+#### 3. **Update Dependencies**
+ After pulling the latest changes, update the project dependencies by running the following command:
+
+ ```bash
+ pnpm install
+ ```
+
+#### 4. **Rebuild and Start the Application**
+
+ - **If using Docker**, ensure you rebuild the Docker image to avoid using a cached version:
+ ```bash
+ docker-compose --profile development up --build
+ ```
+
+ - **If not using Docker**, you can start the application as usual with:
+ ```bash
+ pnpm run dev
+ ```
+
+This ensures that you're running the latest version of bolt.diy and can take advantage of all the newest features and bug fixes.
