## Puter

Puter is an advanced, open-source, self-hostable internet computer designed to be feature-rich, fast, and highly extensible.

### For Users
Puter's goal is to provide you with every app and feature you need to work, create, and play under one roof. From a simple [Notepad](https://online-notepad.com) and [Voice Recorder](https://voice-recorder.com) to [Spreadsheet](https://apps.puter.com/app/spreadsheet) and [Camera](https://online-camera.com), Puter wants to be the all-in-one solution for your digital life.


### For Developers

Puter provides everything you need to build and publish web apps and games. From [AI](https://developer.puter.com/ai/) to [Cloud Storage](https://developer.puter.com/object-storage/) and [Database](https://developer.puter.com/key-value-database/) to [Serverless Workers](https://developer.puter.com/serverless-workers/), Puter has you covered. Puter also helps you get users! Once you build your app, you can publish it on our [App Store](https://apps.puter.com/) to reach and monetize users.



## Getting Started


### 💻 Local Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter
cd puter
npm install
npm start
```
**→** This should launch Puter at  http://puter.localhost:4100

To run this checkout with Docker, follow [Building from source](./doc/self-hosting.md#building-from-source-instead-of-pulling). Create a local `docker-compose.override.yml` to select the local build; keeping these settings out of `docker-compose.yml` avoids conflicts when pulling updates and keeps local configuration out of pull requests.




### 🚀 Self-Hosting

#### Linux/macOS

```bash
curl -fsSL https://puter.com/selfhost | sh
```

#### Windows

```powershell
irm https://puter.com/selfhost?os=windows | iex
```

**→** For more details, see [Self-Hosting Puter](./doc/self-hosting.md).
