Install

Wardrik runs on Linux (x86_64 or arm64, glibc 2.35+). On macOS or Windows, use Docker.

1. Install

Install script

curl -fsSL https://github.com/wardrik-dev/wardrik_daemon/releases/download/v0.1.0-rc.2/install.sh | sh

Installs wardrik to ~/.local, or /opt/wardrik as root, and rik as an alias.

Docker

docker run -d --name wardrik -p 127.0.0.1:4747:4747 \
  -v wardrik-config:/config -v wardrik:/data ghcr.io/wardrik-dev/wardrik:0.1.0-rc.2
docker exec -it wardrik wardrik init

/config is for your files. /data is for the store and keys. The image runs as uid 1000.

2. Set it up

wardrik init

Wrote /home/me/.config/wardrik/config.yaml
Wrote /home/me/.config/wardrik/agents/assistant.md
Wrote /home/me/.config/wardrik/env
Run the daemon as a systemd user service? [Yn]:
Sealed ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
Asking the assistant: In two short sentences, and without calling a tool, say what you can do for me.

File	Contents
config.yaml	the org (default), default model, HTTP port, and the roles and bindings that allow the assistant to create agents
agents/assistant.md	the assistant agent
env	environment variables for the daemon, mode 600

• init never overwrites a file, so it's safe to rerun.
• The key is stored in the vault, unless env already sets it.
• The wardrik command runs as the admin. It needs no token.

Without a terminal, pass flags instead:

wardrik init --provider anthropic --model claude-sonnet-5 --key-from-env MY_KEY --no-service

3. Check it

wardrik doctor

Next: the Quickstart. Daemon commands are in the CLI reference. Secrets are in the vault.
