## Installing the Main Program

1. Go to the [Release](https://github.com/langbot-app/LangBot/releases) page to download the latest version of the zip package (recommended) `langbot-xxx-all.zip` (do not download Source Code as it does not include WebUI). Extract it and open a command line (terminal) in the extracted directory.

2. Install dependencies

We use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to manage dependencies.

```bash
pip install uv
uv sync
```

The default installation does not include optional SeekDB support. If you need
the SeekDB vector store or built-in embedding model, use:

```bash
uv sync --extra seekdb
```

Embedded-mode platform support depends on the available `pylibseekdb` wheels;
Apple Silicon currently requires macOS 15 or later. All other LangBot features
can use the default `uv sync` installation.

3. Run the main program once to generate configuration files

```bash
uv run main.py
```

You will see the following message:

```

You can now use Ctrl+C to exit the program and continue to the [Configure Bots](/en/usage/platforms/readme) page.
