Before installing Dify, make sure your machine meets the following minimum system requirements:
- CPU >= 2 Core
- RAM >= 4 GiB
Operating System | Software | Explanation |
---|---|---|
macOS 10.14 or later | Docker Desktop | Set the Docker virtual machine (VM) to use a minimum of 2 virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and 8 GB of initial memory. Otherwise, the installation may fail. For more information, please refer to the Docker Desktop installation guide for Mac. |
Linux platforms | Docker 19.03 or later |
Please refer to the Docker installation guide and the Docker Compose installation guide for more information on how to install Docker and Docker Compose, respectively. |
Windows with WSL 2 enabled | Docker Desktop | We recommend storing the source code and other data that is bound to Linux containers in the Linux file system rather than the Windows file system. For more information, please refer to the Docker Desktop installation guide for using the WSL 2 backend on Windows. |
Important
Dify 0.6.12 has introduced significant enhancements to Docker Compose deployment, designed to improve your setup and update experience. For more information, read the README.md.
Clone the Dify source code to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/langgenius/dify.git
-
Navigate to the Docker directory in the Dify source code
cd dify/docker
-
Copy the environment configuration file
cp .env.example .env
-
Start the Docker containers
Choose the appropriate command to start the containers based on the Docker Compose version on your system. You can use the
$ docker compose version
command to check the version, and refer to the Docker documentation for more information:- If you have Docker Compose V2, use the following command:
docker compose up -d
- If you have Docker Compose V1, use the following command:
docker-compose up -d
After executing the command, you should see output similar to the following, showing the status and port mappings of all containers:
[+] Running 11/11
✔ Network docker_ssrf_proxy_network Created 0.1s
✔ Network docker_default Created 0.0s
✔ Container docker-redis-1 Started 2.4s
✔ Container docker-ssrf_proxy-1 Started 2.8s
✔ Container docker-sandbox-1 Started 2.7s
✔ Container docker-web-1 Started 2.7s
✔ Container docker-weaviate-1 Started 2.4s
✔ Container docker-db-1 Started 2.7s
✔ Container docker-api-1 Started 6.5s
✔ Container docker-worker-1 Started 6.4s
✔ Container docker-nginx-1 Started 7.1s
Finally, check if all containers are running successfully:
docker compose ps
This includes 3 core services: api / worker / web
, and 6 dependent components: weaviate / db / redis / nginx / ssrf_proxy / sandbox
.

With these steps, you should be able to install Dify successfully.
Enter the docker directory of the dify source code and execute the following commands:
cd dify/docker
docker compose down
git pull origin main
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
- If the
.env.example
file has been updated, be sure to modify your local.env
file accordingly. - Check and modify the configuration items in the
.env
file as needed to ensure they match your actual environment. You may need to add any new variables from.env.example
to your.env
file, and update any values that have changed.
Access administrator initialization page to set up the admin account:
# Local environment
http://localhost/install
# Server environment
http://your_server_ip/install
Dify web interface address:
# Local environment
http://localhost
# Server environment
http://your_server_ip
Edit the environment variable values in your .env
file directly. Then, restart Dify with:
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
The full set of annotated environment variables along can be found under docker/.env.example.
