Getting Started

The core of our platform is the LittleHorse Kernel. Therefore, we recommend you first go through the Kernel Quickstart, located in the quickstart directory.

A reasonable order of operations to learn LittleHorse is:

1. Start with the LittleHorse Kernel Quickstarts, whose code lives in this repo.
2. Read the LittleHorse Kernel Concepts documentation.
3. Go through the LittleHorse Connect Quickstart.
4. Start exploring! Play with one of the demo's in this repository, and look at the other platform components in our documentation.

Installing LittleHorse

Install our CLI (lhctl) using homebrew:

brew install littlehorse-enterprises/lh/lhctl

The easiest way to get a LittleHorse Server running on port 2023 is to run the following command:

docker run --pull always --name lh-standalone --rm -d -p 2023:2023 -p 8080:8080  -p 9092:9092 \
  ghcr.io/littlehorse-enterprises/littlehorse/lh-standalone:latest

The development dashboard should be available at http://localhost:8080.
