How to run Conch from source to develop or test changes with Conch Agent

Clone the repo, install with pnpm and start the app on localhost:4317.

Who it is forA developer who wants to read, change or test the Conch code on their own machine.

The problemInstalling a release does not let you run unreleased changes or edit the app.

The outcomeA local Conch running from your checkout at http://localhost:4317.

What you need first

  • A computer running macOS, Windows or Linux
  • A plan you already pay for with a supported provider, or an API key from a provider
  • Node 24 or newer, only if you run from a checkout

Steps

  1. Install Node 24 or newer, then clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/georgevibing/conch-agent. (inferred, check the README)
  2. Change into the checkout folder and run corepack enable.
  3. Run pnpm install.
  4. Run pnpm start and open http://localhost:4317 in your browser.

Prompt for your agent

Using the georgevibing/conch-agent repo, install dependencies and start the app from a checkout on this machine. Expected output: the app served at http://localhost:4317. Verify that the page loads and that you can send one chat message.

Caveat. The README says only this computer can open Conch out of the box, and docs/SECURITY.md should be read before putting it on a network.
