# Quickstart

> Get Bolly running in under 5 minutes

Go from zero to a running Bolly instance in three steps.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Bolly">
    Run the one-line installer on Linux or macOS:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -fsSL https://bollyai.dev/install.sh | bash
    ```

    This downloads the latest binary, creates your config directory at `~/.bolly/`, and starts the service automatically.

    <Tip>On macOS, you can also download the [Desktop App](https://github.com/triangle-int/bolly/releases) for a native experience with computer use support.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your browser">
    Go to [http://localhost:26559](http://localhost:26559). Bolly will walk you through setup right in the browser — you'll choose between an **Anthropic API key** or a **Claude Pro/Max subscription**.

    <Info>See the [API Keys guide](/docs/installation/api-keys) for details on both options.</Info>
