## 📦 Install
**Install from source** (latest features, recommended for development)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/nanobot.git
cd nanobot
pip install -e .
```
**Install with [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv)** (stable, fast)
```bash
uv tool install nanobot-ai
```
**Install from PyPI** (stable)
```bash
pip install nanobot-ai
```
## 🚀 Quick Start
> [!TIP]
> Set your API key in `~/.nanobot/config.json`.
> Get API keys: [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/keys) (LLM) · [Brave Search](https://brave.com/search/api/) (optional, for web search)
> You can also change the model to `minimax/minimax-m2` for lower cost.
**1. Initialize**
```bash
nanobot onboard
```
**2. Configure** (`~/.nanobot/config.json`)
```json
{
"providers": {
"openrouter": {
"apiKey": "sk-or-v1-xxx"
}
},
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"
}
},
"tools": {
"web": {
"search": {
"apiKey": "BSA-xxx"
}
}
}
}
```
**3. Chat**
```bash
nanobot agent -m "What is 2+2?"
```
That's it! You have a working AI assistant in 2 minutes.
## 🖥️ Local Models (vLLM)
Run nanobot with your own local models using vLLM or any OpenAI-compatible server.
**1. Start your vLLM server**
```bash
vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct --port 8000
```
**2. Configure** (`~/.nanobot/config.json`)
```json
{
"providers": {
"vllm": {
"apiKey": "dummy",
"apiBase": "http://localhost:8000/v1"
}
},
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"
}
}
}
```
**3. Chat**
```bash
nanobot agent -m "Hello from my local LLM!"
```
> [!TIP]
> The `apiKey` can be any non-empty string for local servers that don't require authentication.
## 💬 Chat Apps
Talk to your nanobot through Telegram, WhatsApp, or Feishu — anytime, anywhere.
| Channel | Setup |
|---------|-------|
| **Telegram** | Easy (just a token) |
| **WhatsApp** | Medium (scan QR) |
| **Feishu** | Medium (app credentials) |
<details>
<summary><b>Telegram</b> (Recommended)</summary>
**1. Create a bot**
- Open Telegram, search `@BotFather`
- Send `/newbot`, follow prompts
- Copy the token
**2. Configure**
```json
{
"channels": {
"telegram": {
"enabled": true,
"token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
"allowFrom": ["YOUR_USER_ID"]
}
}
}
```
> Get your user ID from `@userinfobot` on Telegram.
**3. Run**
```bash
nanobot gateway
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>WhatsApp</b></summary>
Requires **Node.js ≥18**.
**1. Link device**
```bash
nanobot channels login
# Scan QR with WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices
```
**2. Configure**
```json
{
"channels": {
"whatsapp": {
"enabled": true,
"allowFrom": ["+1234567890"]
}
}
}
```
**3. Run** (two terminals)
```bash
# Terminal 1
nanobot channels login
# Terminal 2
nanobot gateway
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Feishu (飞书)</b></summary>
Uses **WebSocket** long connection — no public IP required.
```bash
pip install nanobot-ai[feishu]
```
**1. Create a Feishu bot**
- Visit [Feishu Open Platform](https://open.feishu.cn/app)
- Create a new app → Enable **Bot** capability
- **Permissions**: Add `im:message` (send messages)
- **Events**: Add `im.message.receive_v1` (receive messages)
- Select **Long Connection** mode (requires running nanobot first to establish connection)
- Get **App ID** and **App Secret** from "Credentials & Basic Info"
- Publish the app
**2. Configure**
```json
{
"channels": {
"feishu": {
"enabled": true,
"appId": "cli_xxx",
"appSecret": "xxx",
"encryptKey": "",
"verificationToken": "",
"allowFrom": []
}
}
}
```
> `encryptKey` and `verificationToken` are optional for Long Connection mode.
> `allowFrom`: Leave empty to allow all users, or add `["ou_xxx"]` to restrict access.
**3. Run**
```bash
nanobot gateway
```
> [!TIP]
> Feishu uses WebSocket to receive messages — no webhook or public IP needed!

## 🐳 Docker
> [!TIP]
> The `-v ~/.nanobot:/root/.nanobot` flag mounts your local config directory into the container, so your config and workspace persist across container restarts.
Build and run nanobot in a container:
```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t nanobot .
# Initialize config (first time only)
docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/root/.nanobot --rm nanobot onboard
# Edit config on host to add API keys
vim ~/.nanobot/config.json
# Run gateway (connects to Telegram/WhatsApp)
docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/root/.nanobot -p 18790:18790 nanobot gateway
# Or run a single command
docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/root/.nanobot --rm nanobot agent -m "Hello!"
docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/root/.nanobot --rm nanobot status
```
