Quickstart

​
What this lets you do

Run a complete local DreamLayer sample without a provider key or a paid service.

​
What you need

  • Git
  • Python 3.11 or later
  • uv
  • Node.js 22.12 or later
  • pnpm 10
  • A current browser

​
Steps

​
1. Clone and start

The launcher prints the loopback URL for DreamLayer WebUI. Sample mode calls no provider and spends nothing.

​
2. Generate the sample

Open DreamLayer WebUI, enter a prompt, keep the sample connector selected, and create the image. The job should move through queued, running, and completed.

​
3. Check the installation

Keep the JSON output when requesting support. It reports versions and sanitized readiness, not prompts, local paths, images, or keys.

​
Confirm it worked

The sample job reaches completed, one image appears in DreamLayer WebUI, and ./dreamlayer doctor --json reports the local services as ready.

​
Common errors

​
Troubleshooting

Run ./dreamlayer doctor --json again and keep the sanitized output. See Troubleshooting for setup and recovery checks.
