Goal: run your first actionbook browser workflow with a working local setup in under 2 minutes.

Quick Setup (CLI)

  1. Install the CLI:
npm install -g @actionbookdev/cli
Requires Node.js >= v18. Upgrade with npm install -g @actionbookdev/cli@latest.
  1. Run the setup wizard (recommended):
actionbook setup
setup configures API key, browser mode, health checks, and optional agent skill installation in one flow.
  1. Run your first browser commands:
actionbook browser start --set-session-id s1
actionbook browser goto "https://example.com" --session s1 --tab t1
actionbook browser snapshot --session s1 --tab t1
actionbook browser close --session s1
If snapshot returns the page structure, your local setup is ready.
