title: Quickstart
summary: Get Paperclip running in minutes
---
Get Paperclip running locally in under 5 minutes.
## Quick Start (Recommended)
```sh
npx paperclipai onboard --yes
```
This walks you through setup, configures your environment, and gets Paperclip running.
## Local Development
Prerequisites: Node.js 20+ and pnpm 9+.
```sh
pnpm install
pnpm dev
```
This starts the API server and UI at [http://localhost:3100](http://localhost:3100).
No external database required — Paperclip uses an embedded PostgreSQL instance by default.
## One-Command Bootstrap
```sh
pnpm paperclipai run
```
This auto-onboards if config is missing, runs health checks with auto-repair, and starts the server.
## What's Next
Once Paperclip is running:
1. Create your first company in the web UI
2. Define a company goal
3. Create a CEO agent and configure its adapter
4. Build out the org chart with more agents
5. Set budgets and assign initial tasks
6. Hit go — agents start their heartbeats and the company runs
