Getting Started

Welcome to Pipelit! This section will guide you through installing, configuring, and running the platform for the first time.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Python 3.10+ — Backend runtime
  • Redis 8.0+ — Task queue, pub/sub, and search (includes RediSearch natively)
  • Node.js 18+ — Frontend build toolchain

Steps

1. Installation

Clone the repository, set up a Python virtual environment, and install backend and frontend dependencies.

2. Configuration

Generate an encryption key, configure Redis, and set up your .env file.

3. First Run

Start the backend, RQ worker, and frontend dev server. Create your admin account through the setup wizard.

4. Quickstart Tutorial
