OS.js is an open-source web desktop platform with a window manager, application APIs, GUI toolkit, filesystem abstractions and much more.

This is the OS.js base repository that you can use as a template to make your own distributions, installations and development environments.

Visit the official demo for a preview version. Please note that some features are disabled and might be outdated or unavailable at times.

OS.js runs on http://localhost:8000 by default.

You can run a demo using Docker without checking out any source-code:

docker run -p 8000:8000 osjs/osjs:latest

Clone the master branch of the official OS.js repository:

git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/os-js/OS.js.git
cd OS.js

You can run OS.js locally without installing anything on your host system if you have Docker and Docker Compose installed.

Simply run the following command and a complete environment will be set up for you:

docker-compose up

To install directly on the host system you'll need Node 10 (or later).
