Install Priompt

Use Docker unless you need a native service; then follow the guide for your OS. Priompt is one static Go binary, with SQLite built in, so there's no runtime or database to install first.

Choose a method

Method	Use it for	Guide
Docker	The fastest start on any OS, and container platforms. The image ghcr.io/priompt/priompt is published for amd64 and arm64.	Install with Docker
Linux service	A systemd service under its own user.	Install on Linux
macOS service	A launchd agent that starts at login.	Install on macOS
Windows service	A Windows service managed by NSSM.	Install on Windows
From source	go install on any OS, or a build from a clone.	Build from source

The Linux, macOS, and Windows guides build the binary with go install.

No prebuilt binaries yet

Priompt doesn't publish downloadable binaries yet. Use Docker or go install. See Status and roadmap.

What else to install

You only need the server. Install the rest when you need it:

Piece	Install it when	How
Python SDK	Your agents are written in Python.	pip install priompt-sdk
Node SDK	Your agents run on Node.	npm install @priompt/client
promptctl	Authors keep prompts as files in git.	Build from source
priompt-auth	You need SSO or service accounts.	Build from source

Ports

Port	Used by	Expose it
8443	gRPC API, which clients call.	To your agents. Add TLS first, see Secure a server.
4222	Embedded NATS, which carries change events.	Only with -nats-token set. The server refuses a non-loopback NATS address without one. See Secure a server.
2112	Prometheus /metrics.	Keep it internal. See Monitoring.
8444	priompt-auth, if you run it.	To clients that fetch tokens. See SSO and service accounts.

Next steps

• Quickstart: try Priompt locally before you install it as a service.
• Production checklist: set what a server needs before it takes real traffic.
