# Installation Guide

1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/algorithmicsuperintelligence/openevolve

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd openevolve

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Official Install Script

Easy Recommended

Prerequisites

Python 3 Python is required to use pip.
Node.js Node.js must be installed to use npm.

pip install openevolve

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

pip install optillm

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Installs the package published on the npm registry globally — no need to clone the source.

✅ After installing, open a new terminal and run the program's version command (e.g. --version) to confirm it worked.

Pulled directly from this repo's README.

3. Docker

Easy

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Docker Desktop Needed to build and run containers. Install it and keep it running in the background.

docker pull ghcr.io/algorithmicsuperintelligence/openevolve:latest

Type this command into your terminal and run it.

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app ghcr.io/algorithmicsuperintelligence/openevolve:latest \

Runs the built image as an actual container.

✅ Run docker compose ps to check the containers are Up. If the README mentions a port, open http://localhost:PORT in your browser.

4. Python

Easy

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Python 3 On Windows, be sure to check 'Add Python to PATH' during installation.

pip install openevolve

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

pip install optillm

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

✅ If it runs without errors and prints output in the terminal, it worked.

5. Make

Medium

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

✅ If it finishes without errors, it worked. Try running the generated executable directly.
