OpenHands: Code Less, Make More

---

Welcome to OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin), a platform for software development agents powered by AI.

OpenHands agents can do anything a human developer can: modify code, run commands, browse the web, call APIs, and yes—even copy code snippets from StackOverflow.

Learn more at docs.all-hands.dev, or jump to the Quick Start.

[!IMPORTANT] Using OpenHands for work? We'd love to chat! Fill out this short form to join our Design Partner program, where you'll get early access to commercial features and the opportunity to provide input on our product roadmap.

⚡ Quick Start

The easiest way to run OpenHands is in Docker. See the Installation guide for system requirements and more information.

docker pull docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.16-nikolaik

docker run -it --rm --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.16-nikolaik \
    -e LOG_ALL_EVENTS=true \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v ~/.openhands:/home/openhands/.openhands \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app \
    docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.16

You'll find OpenHands running at http://localhost:3000!

Finally, you'll need a model provider and API key. Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet (anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022) works best, but you have many options.

You can also connect OpenHands to your local filesystem, run OpenHands in a scriptable headless mode, interact with it via a friendly CLI, or run it on tagged issues with a github action.

Visit Installation for more information and setup instructions.

[!CAUTION] OpenHands is meant to be run by a single user on their local workstation. It is not appropriate for multi-tenant deployments, where multiple users share the same instance--there is no built-in isolation or scalability.

If you're interested in running OpenHands in a multi-tenant environment, please get in touch with us for advanced deployment options.

If you want to modify the OpenHands source code, check out Development.md.
