elizaOS Documentation

Documentation for elizaOS: an agent framework with memory, planning, and tool use.

Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v23 or higher)
• bun (or npm/yarn)

Local Development Setup

Install the Mintlify CLI to preview documentation changes locally:

bun install -g mint

Running Locally

From the repository root:

cd packages/docs && mint dev

This starts a local preview, usually at http://localhost:3000. The repository root also has a docs symlink to packages/docs so existing docs/... paths keep resolving.
