Most users use our [desktop app](https://openworklabs.com). This guide helps you setup OpenWork via the CLI so that you can run OpenWork tasks in the background on your infra.
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Install on your remote server
|
|
|
|
Install the npm package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g openwork-orchestrator
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Start OpenWork in your workspace
|
|
|
|
Run OpenWork where your code lives:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openwork start --workspace /path/to/your/workspace --approval auto
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Frame>
|
|
|
|
</Frame>
|
|
|
|
Copy:
|
|
|
|
- `OpenWork URL`
|
|
- `OpenWork Owner Token`
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Connect the OpenWork desktop app
|
|
|
|
On your local machine, open the OpenWork desktop app and connect into a remote workspace with:
|
|
|
|
- On the bottom left click `+ Add workspace`
|
|
- Then click `+ Connect Remote workspace`
|
|
- Type in the `OpenWork URL and OpenWork Owner Token` from earlier
|
|
|
|
<Frame>
|
|
|
|
</Frame>
|
|
|
|
## What this gives you right away
|
|
|
|
- Your code and services stay on the remote machine.
|
|
- Your local machine stays light.
|
|
- You get a fast path from install to a connected remote OpenWork workspace. |
