If you prefer managing Python yourself:
pip install copaw
copaw init --defaults
copaw appThen open http://127.0.0.1:8088/ in your browser for the Console (chat with CoPaw, configure the agent). To talk in DingTalk, Feishu, QQ, etc., add a channel in the docs.
No Python setup required, one command installs everything. The script will automatically download uv (Python package manager), create a virtual environment, and install CoPaw with all dependencies (including Node.js and frontend assets). Note: May not work in restricted network environments or corporate firewalls.
macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.sh | bashTo install with Ollama support:
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.sh | bash -s -- --extras ollamaTo install with multiple extras (e.g., Ollama + llama.cpp):
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.sh | bash -s -- --extras ollama,llamacppWindows (CMD):
curl -fsSL https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.bat -o install.bat && install.batWindows (PowerShell):
irm https://copaw.agentscope.io/install.ps1 | iexNote: The installer will automatically check the status of uv. If it is not installed, it will attempt to download and configure it automatically. If the automatic installation fails, please follow the on-screen prompts or execute
python -m pip install -U uv, then rerun the installer.
⚠️ Special Notice for Windows Enterprise LTSC UsersIf you are using Windows LTSC or an enterprise environment governed by strict security policies, PowerShell may run in Constrained Language Mode, potentially causing the following issue:
If using CMD (.bat): Script executes successfully but fails to write to
PathThe script completes file installation. Due to Constrained Language Mode, it cannot automatically update environment variables. Manually configure as follows:
- Locate the installation directory:
- Check if
uvis available: Enteruv --versionin CMD. If a version number appears, only configure the CoPaw path. If you receive the prompt'uv' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file,configure both paths.- uv path (choose one based on installation location; use if
uvfails): Typically%USERPROFILE%\.local\bin,%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\uv, or theScriptsfolder within your Python installation directory- CoPaw path: Typically located at
%USERPROFILE%\.copaw\bin.- Manually add to the system's Path environment variable:
- Press
Win + R, typesysdm.cpland press Enter to open System Properties.- Click “Advanced” -> “Environment Variables”.
- Under “System variables”, locate and select
Path, then click “Edit”.- Click “New”, enter both directory paths sequentially, then click OK to save.
If using PowerShell (.ps1): Script execution interrupted
Due to Constrained Language Mode, the script may fail to automatically download
uv.
- Manually install uv: Refer to the GitHub Release to download
uv.exeand place it in%USERPROFILE%\.local\binor%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\uv; or ensure Python is installed and runpython -m pip install -U uv.- Configure
uvenvironment variables: Add theuvdirectory and%USERPROFILE%\.copaw\binto your system'sPathvariable.- Re-run the installation: Open a new terminal and execute the installation script again to complete the
CoPawinstallation.- Configure the
CoPawenvironment variable: Add%USERPROFILE%\.copaw\binto your system'sPathvariable.

- Incomplete compatibility testing: Not fully tested across all system versions and hardware configurations
- Potential performance issues: Startup time, memory usage, and other performance aspects may need further optimization
- Features under development: Some features may be unstable or missing
If you're not comfortable with command-line tools, you can download and use CoPaw's desktop application without manually configuring Python environments or running commands.
Download the desktop app from GitHub Releases:
- Windows:
CoPaw-Setup-<version>.exe - macOS:
CoPaw-<version>-macOS.zip(Apple Silicon recommended)
- ✅ Zero configuration: Download and double-click to run, no need to install Python or configure environment variables
- ✅ Cross-platform: Supports Windows 10+ and macOS 14+
- ✅ Visual interface: Automatically opens browser interface, no need to manually enter addresses
⚠️ Beta stage: Features are continuously being improved, feedback welcome
Important: The first launch may take 10-60 seconds (depending on your system configuration). The application needs to initialize the Python environment and load dependencies. Please wait patiently for the browser window to open automatically.
When you download the CoPaw macOS app from Releases, macOS may show: "Apple cannot verify that 'CoPaw' contains no malicious software". This happens because the app is not notarized. You can still open it as follows:
-
Right-click to open (recommended) Right-click (or Control+click) the CoPaw app → Open → in the dialog click Open again. This tells Gatekeeper you trust the app; after that you can double-click to launch as usual.
-
Allow in System Settings If it is still blocked, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the message like "CoPaw was blocked because it is from an unidentified developer", and click Open Anyway or Allow.
-
Remove quarantine attribute (not recommended for most users) In Terminal run:
xattr -cr /Applications/CoPaw.app(or use the path to the.appafter unzipping). This clears the "downloaded from the internet" quarantine flag so the warning usually does not appear, but is less safe and controllable than using Right-click → Open.
For detailed usage instructions, troubleshooting, and common issues, see the Desktop Application Guide.
Images are on Docker Hub (agentscope/copaw). Image tags: latest (stable); pre (PyPI pre-release).
docker pull agentscope/copaw:latest
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8088:8088 -v copaw-data:/app/working agentscope/copaw:latestAlso available on Alibaba Cloud Container Registry (ACR) for users in China: agentscope-registry.ap-southeast-1.cr.aliyuncs.com/agentscope/copaw (same tags).
Then open http://127.0.0.1:8088/ for the Console. Config, memory, and skills are stored in the copaw-data volume. To pass API keys (e.g. DASHSCOPE_API_KEY), add -e VAR=value or --env-file .env to docker run.
Connecting to Ollama or other services on the host machine
Inside a Docker container,
localhostrefers to the container itself, not your host machine. If you run Ollama (or other model services) on the host and want CoPaw in Docker to reach them, use one of these approaches:Option A — Explicit host binding (all platforms):
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8088:8088 \ --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway \ -v copaw-data:/app/working agentscope/copaw:latestThen in CoPaw Settings → Models → Ollama, change the Base URL to
http://host.docker.internal:11434/v1or your corresponding port.Option B — Host networking (Linux only):
docker run --network=host -v copaw-data:/app/working agentscope/copaw:latestNo port mapping (
-p) is needed; the container shares the host network directly. Note that all container ports are exposed on the host, which may cause conflicts if the port is already in use.
The image is built from scratch. To build the image yourself, please refer to the Build Docker image section in scripts/README.md, and then push to your registry.
No local install? ModelScope Studio one-click cloud setup. Set your Studio to non-public so others cannot control your CoPaw.
To run CoPaw on Alibaba Cloud (ECS), use the one-click deployment: open the CoPaw on Alibaba Cloud (ECS) deployment link and follow the prompts. For step-by-step instructions, see Alibaba Cloud Developer: Deploy your AI assistant in 3 minutes.
If you use a cloud LLM (e.g. DashScope, ModelScope), you must configure an API key before chatting. CoPaw will not work until a valid key is set. See the official docs for details.
How to configure:
- Console (recommended) — After running
copaw app, open http://127.0.0.1:8088/ → Settings → Models. Choose a provider, enter the API Key, and enable that provider and model. copaw init— When you runcopaw init, it will guide you through configuring the LLM provider and API key. Follow the prompts to choose a provider and enter your key.- Environment variable — For DashScope you can set
DASHSCOPE_API_KEYin your shell or in a.envfile in the working directory.
Tools that need extra keys (e.g. TAVILY_API_KEY for web search) can be set in Console Settings → Environment variables, or see Config for details.
Using local models only? If you use Local Models (llama.cpp or MLX), you do not need any API key.
CoPaw can run LLMs entirely on your machine — no API keys or cloud services required. See the official docs for details.
| Backend | Best for | Install |
|---|---|---|
| llama.cpp | Cross-platform (macOS / Linux / Windows) | pip install 'copaw[llamacpp]' or bash install.sh --extras llamacpp |
