Checklist

Pre-Requirements

Install Git from https://git-scm.com

Install Node.js LTS from https://nodejs.org

Verify node/npm installation:

node --version
npm --version

Install pnpm globally using:

npm install -g pnpm

Verify pnpm Installation:

pnpm --version

Installation

Ensure port 5173 (bolt.diy) is free (not in use). Use this command in cmd or PowerShell:

netstat -ano | findstr :5173

If there is no output, it is correct. If you see any output/list, then the port is in use.

  • Make sure you close the other applications running on these ports and try again.
  • Alternatively, change the port of bolt.diy (TODO).

Clone the repository:

git clone -b stable https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy.git

Alternative: Download the release (without git) from https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy/tags

Navigate to the project directory:

cd bolt.diy

Rename .env.example to .env.local:

copy .env.example .env.local

Edit .env.local and add your API keys for LLMs (optional): You can set your API keys here or you can temporarily do it later in the UI.

Install dependencies:

pnpm install

With the terminal opened in your bolt.diy directory, run the install command.

Start the development server:

pnpm run dev

Open the browser and navigate to the URL shown in the terminal (typically http://localhost:5173).

Create and Use Google API Key

Build an example Webapp with Gemini 2.0 Flash:

i think this might be your problem

once everything is installed you just type in your command prompt 2 things:
--->
cd bolt.diy
--->
pnpm run dev
--->
after this it should run smoothly, just open the http://localhost:5173 in your browser

@Idris-Smith did it now work for you? if not, open a topic in the community where we can investigate it: https://thinktank.ottomator.ai/c/bolt-diy/bolt-diy-issues-and-troubleshooting/22

Makes no sense to do it here in the comments :)

Not sure what exactly you mean.

When restarting your PC, you need to do this again to start bolt.diy

  • go to your bolt.diy folder
  • open CMD/Terminal there again
  • run "pnpm run dev"
  • open in browser localhost:5173

hey do we need the programs to be opened all the time when we need to use the bolt.diy?

hey, when you use "pnpm run dev", yes you need the cmd open. Since the last release there is also a native desktop app. so you can use this as well (e.g. .exe on windows)
