BitDive Quick Start
This page is the shortest way to begin.
Most of the detailed setup now happens inside BitDive after login, not in this document.
Option 1: Start with BitDive Cloud
If you want the hosted flow, use Start Free.
After login, the built-in onboarding will guide you through:
- creating your first app entry
- copying the dependency and config snippets
- restarting the service
- capturing the first trace
- enabling MCP for your AI workflow
Option 2: Run BitDive Self-Hosted
If you want the self-hosted quick start, run:
docker run -d --privileged -p 443:443 -p 8089:8089 --name bitdive-launcher frolikoveabitdive/bitdive-launcher
Then:
- Open
https://localhost - Sign in with the initial self-hosted credentials
- Follow the onboarding inside the product
This is the fastest self-hosted path. For company rollout, use the rollout path below instead.
Install BitDive Skills
If you want the AI workflow, install the BitDive skills:
npx skills add bitDive/bitdive-skills --skill '*'
After that, continue with the MCP and onboarding steps shown inside BitDive.
- Skills repository: github.com/bitDive/bitdive-skills
- MCP guide: BitDive MCP Integration
What You Actually Need to Do
For most users, the flow is simply:
- Start Free or run BitDive Self-Hosted
- Install BitDive skills if you use AI tools
- Log in
- Follow the built-in onboarding
That is it. The product now walks you through the rest.
