TinyAGI Setup and First Run
1. What installation actually gives you​
The upstream quick start uses a one-command installer:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TinyAGI/tinyagi/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
Then:
tinyagi
The README says this auto-creates default settings, starts the daemon, and opens TinyOffice in the browser.
2. What the default setup includes​
According to the README, the first run creates:
- a default workspace,
- a default agent,
- no channels initially,
- and a local API plus TinyOffice control surface.
That is a strong sign that TinyAGI expects operators to learn the core loop before wiring public-facing channels.
3. Local, source, and Docker paths​
| Path | Best when |
|---|---|
| installer | You want the fastest working local setup |
| source run | You want to inspect or modify the code |
| Docker | You want a more stable long-running environment |
4. What a successful first run looks like​
A good first run should prove:
- TinyOffice opens,
- the daemon runs,
- one provider path works,
- one simple agent task completes,
- team and channel setup are still understandable.
5. Practical first-run advice​
Start with the local default path, keep channels disabled at first, and only add Discord, Telegram, or WhatsApp after the core agent-team loop works cleanly.
