Installing the Workbench on Linux directly. Desktop users: Workbench Win (Windows) or Workbench Mac (planned).
All installations require PostgreSQL 12+ as the metadata store. The Workbench creates its own schema for user accounts, recipes, datasets, and configuration. For the frontend, Node.js 18+ is required. The backend requires Python 3.10+.
Clone the repository, install Python dependencies from requirements.txt, install Node.js dependencies with pnpm install, configure the PostgreSQL connection, and start the backend and frontend servers.
Workbench Win is a licensed-but-free Windows desktop application — currently under construction. When complete, it will bundle the full Workbench platform with Python and all dependencies in a single .exe installer with no command-line setup required. In the meantime, see workbench-win.sentuny.com for status.
A macOS desktop application with the same easy-install approach as Workbench Win. Under consideration. Technically-inclined macOS users can run the open-source Workbench directly — it works on macOS for development and production.
