🚀 Getting Started

🛠 Installing from Source

Requirements

A server with Node.js version 18.18+.
A PostgreSQL database version v12.14+.

Get the source code and install packages

git clone https://github.com/umami-software/umami.git
cd umami
pnpm install

Configure Umami

Create an .env file with the following:

DATABASE_URL=connection-url

The connection URL format:

postgresql://username:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydb

Build the Application

pnpm run build

The build step will create tables in your database if you are installing for the first time. It will also create a login user with username admin and password umami.

Start the Application

pnpm run start

By default, this will launch the application on http://localhost:3000. You will need to either proxy requests from your web server or change the port to serve the application directly.
