Installation and launch on Windows

Installer (recommended)

Download agentboard-VERSION-windows-amd64-setup.exe from the Releases page. The installation wizard will suggest a folder; the default is C:\AI\AgentBoard. It will copy agentboard.exe and documentation, create a shortcut and add the selected folder to the system PATH. After installation, open a new terminal so that the agentboard command becomes available.

In your project folder run:

agentboard init
agentboard open

The interface is built into agentboard.exe; No separate installation of Go or Node.js is needed. The data is stored in %AppData%\AgentBoard and is retained when the program is updated or uninstalled. Uninstalling via "Installed Applications" removes shortcuts and the entry from PATH.

Installing Scoop

If Scoop is not already installed, open PowerShell as your regular user and follow the official Scoop instructions. If there are restrictions on your corporate computer, contact your administrator; AgentBoard can also be launched from a ZIP without Scoop.

Alternatively install AgentBoard via Scoop:

scoop install https://github.com/bogdanovandreycode/AgentBoard/releases/latest/download/agentboard.json
agentboard version

The presence of manifest in GitHub Release can be checked on the Releases page. After adding manifest to Scoop, the bucket can be installed by bucket name and updated with the scoop update agentboard command.

ZIP without Scoop

Download agentboard-VERSION-windows-amd64.zip from Releases, extract, for example, to C:\Tools\AgentBoard. In PowerShell in the project folder:

& 'C:\Tools\AgentBoard\agentboard.exe' init
& 'C:\Tools\AgentBoard\agentboard.exe' open

For an AI client, specify the full path to agentboard.exe in its MCP configuration if the program is not in PATH.

Build from source

Install the Go version from go.mod and Node.js 22 or later. In PowerShell at the root of the repository:

cd web
npm ci
cd ..
./scripts/build.ps1
./agentboard.exe version

scripts/build.ps1 builds the frontend into internal/webui/dist, runs Go tests and builds one agentboard.exe. The order is important: the interface is built into the binary when Go is built. If the old agentboard.exe open is running, stop it before rebuilding (Ctrl+C), otherwise Windows will not allow you to replace the file.

Where is the data

%AppData%\AgentBoard\agentboard.db - tasks, projects, workers and settings. You can specify a different file with the --db flag, but init, open/serve and mcp must have the same path.
<your project>\.agentboard\project.json - project identifier. This file does not contain tasks.
The server only listens to 127.0.0.1:7337 by default. Specify another address --addr before the project path: agentboard open --addr 127.0.0.1:7444 C:\Projects\MyProject.

open opens the project page and reuses an already running server at that address. If several projects are open in one browser, select them through the list on the left.
