OpenHands

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.

⚡ Quick Start

The easiest way to run OpenHands is in Docker. You can change WORKSPACE_BASE below to point OpenHands to existing code that you'd like to modify.

See the Installation guide for system requirements and more information.

export WORKSPACE_BASE=$(pwd)/workspace

docker pull ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.9-nikolaik

docker run -it --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.9-nikolaik \
    -e SANDBOX_USER_ID=$(id -u) \
    -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH=$WORKSPACE_BASE \
    -v $WORKSPACE_BASE:/opt/workspace_base \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S) \
    ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.9

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

You'll need a model provider and API key. One option that works well: Claude 3.5 Sonnet, but you have many options.

You can also run OpenHands in a scriptable headless mode, or as an interactive CLI.

Visit Installation for more information and setup instructions.
