Installation & Setup
Get Glider running locally, with the database, ports and optional hardware in place.
What the machine needs before the first run.
- Node.js 20 or newer
- Docker (for the bundled MongoDB) or a reachable MongoDB instance — only when running from source; the desktop app ships and runs its own
- Claude Code (claude) and/or Codex (codex) CLIs, signed in — only for the in-editor agent chat
- A Chromium-based browser for the output window
