Quick Start
DeerFlow is developed in Python, and comes with a web UI written in Node.js. To ensure a smooth setup process, we recommend using the following tools:
Recommended Tools
-uv:
Simplify Python environment and dependency management. uv automatically creates a virtual environment in the root directory and installs all required packages for you—no need to manually install Python environments.
- nvm:
Manage multiple versions of the Node.js runtime effortlessly.
- pnpm:
Install and manage dependencies of Node.js project.
Environment Requirements
Make sure your system meets the following minimum requirements: - Python: Version3.12+
- Node.js: Version 22+
Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow.git
cd deer-flow
Install dependencies, uv will take care of the python interpreter and venv creation, and install the required packages
uv sync
Configure .env with your API keys
Tavily: https://app.tavily.com/home
Brave_SEARCH: https://brave.com/search/api/
volcengine TTS: Add your TTS credentials if you have them
cp .env.example .env
See the 'Supported Search Engines' and 'Text-to-Speech Integration' sections below for all available options
Configure conf.yaml for your LLM model and API keys
Please refer to 'docs/configuration_guide.md' for more details
cp conf.yaml.example conf.yaml
Install marp for ppt generation
https://github.com/marp-team/marp-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#use-package-manager
brew install marp-cli
Optionally, install web UI dependencies via pnpm:
cd deer-flow/web
pnpm install
