Dify is a platform that allows users to easily create AI-powered tools without needing programming knowledge. Through a visual interface, users can build AI workflows by simply dragging and dropping, helping to improve business efficiency and automate tasks.

Here is the GitHub page for Dify.
To run Dify, you'll need Docker and Docker Compose.

I referred to the following site for the Docker installation.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

Install Docker

Add Docker Repository

# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

Install Docker Package

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

I referred to the following site for installing Docker Compose.
https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/

Install Docker Compose

Install the docker-compose-plugin.

sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin

Verify that the docker-compose-plugin has been installed.

If "Docker Compose version vN.N.N" is displayed, the docker-compose-plugin has been successfully installed.

Clone the Dify repository from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/langgenius/dify.git

Move to the directory.
