## Getting started
New to Buzz? Pick the path that matches you.
### I just want to try the app
Grab a packaged build from the [latest release](https://github.com/block/buzz/releases/latest) — macOS (`.dmg`), Linux (`.AppImage` / `.deb`), or Windows (`.exe`). Install it like any other app.
By default the app connects to `ws://localhost:3000`. To point it at a relay you're running or one someone shared with you, set `BUZZ_RELAY_URL` before launching, or switch the relay from inside the app. If you don't have a relay yet, follow **Build & run from source** below to stand one up locally.
### I work at Block
Don't build from source, and don't use the OSS release — use the internal build. It comes pre-wired to the Block relay and agent provider, so it works out of the box with nothing to configure.
Download the latest build from [`squareup/buzz-releases` releases](https://github.com/squareup/buzz-releases/releases/latest) and install it.
### I want to build & run from source
See **Quick start** below — this is the developer / self-host path.

## Quick start
You'll need [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Hermit](https://cashapp.github.io/hermit/) (or Rust 1.88+, Node 24+, pnpm 10+, `just`).
