## Quick Start
Three steps to get the full stack running locally.
**Prerequisites:** Docker, and either [Hermit](https://cashapp.github.io/hermit/) (recommended) or Rust 1.88+, Node.js 24+, pnpm 10+, and [`just`](https://github.com/casey/just) installed manually.
**1. Activate the pinned toolchain**
```bash
. ./bin/activate-hermit
```
Hermit pins Rust, Node.js, pnpm, `just`, and related tooling from `bin/`.
**2. Configure and set up the dev environment**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
just setup
just build
```
`just setup` does the heavy lifting:
- Starts Docker services (Postgres, Redis, Typesense, Adminer, Keycloak, MinIO, Prometheus)
- Waits for core services (Postgres, Redis, Typesense) to be healthy
- Runs database migrations
- Installs desktop dependencies (`pnpm install`)
Then run `just build` once to compile the Rust workspace so binaries like `sprout-acp` and `sprout-mcp-server` are available when you start connecting agents.
**3. Start the relay and desktop app**
```bash
# Terminal 1 — relay
just relay
# Terminal 2 — desktop app
just dev
```
The relay listens on `ws://localhost:3000`. The desktop app opens automatically.
That's it — you're running Sprout locally.
