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. See the Installation guide for system requirements and more information.

docker pull docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.12-nikolaik

docker run -it --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.12-nikolaik \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app \
    docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.12

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.

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