Dify edition overview
Dify is an open-source LLM app development platform. Its intuitive interface combines AI workflow, RAG pipeline, agent capabilities, model management, observability features (including [Opik](https://www.comet.com/docs/opik/integrations/dify), [Langfuse](https://docs.langfuse.com), and [Arize Phoenix](https://docs.arize.com/phoenix)) and more, letting you quickly go from prototype to production. Here's a list of the core features:
## Quick start
> Before installing Dify, make sure your machine meets the following minimum system requirements:
>
> - CPU >= 2 Core
> - RAM >= 4 GiB
The easiest way to start the Dify server is through [Docker Compose](docker/docker-compose.yaml). Before running Dify with the following commands, make sure that [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) are installed on your machine:
```bash
cd dify
cd docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d
```
After running, you can access the Dify dashboard in your browser at [http://localhost/install](http://localhost/install) and start the initialization process.
#### Seeking help
Please refer to our [FAQ](https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/install-self-hosted/faqs) if you encounter problems setting up Dify. Reach out to [the community and us](#community--contact) if you are still having issues.
> If you'd like to contribute to Dify or do additional development, refer to our [guide to deploying from source code](https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/install-self-hosted/local-source-code)
## Key features
**1. Workflow**:
Build and test powerful AI workflows on a visual canvas, leveraging all the following features and beyond.
**2. Comprehensive model support**:
Seamless integration with hundreds of proprietary / open-source LLMs from dozens of inference providers and self-hosted solutions, covering GPT, Mistral, Llama3, and any OpenAI API-compatible models. A full list of supported model providers can be found [here](https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/readme/model-providers).
**3. Prompt IDE**:
Intuitive interface for crafting prompts, comparing model performance, and adding additional features such as text-to-speech to a chat-based app.
**4. RAG Pipeline**:
Extensive RAG capabilities that cover everything from document ingestion to retrieval, with out-of-box support for text extraction from PDFs, PPTs, and other common document formats.
**5. Agent capabilities**:
You can define agents based on LLM Function Calling or ReAct, and add pre-built or custom tools for the agent. Dify provides 50+ built-in tools for AI agents, such as Google Search, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion and WolframAlpha.
**6. LLMOps**:
Monitor and analyze application logs and performance over time. You could continuously improve prompts, datasets, and models based on production data and annotations.
**7. Backend-as-a-Service**:
All of Dify's offerings come with corresponding APIs, so you could effortlessly integrate Dify into your own business logic.

## Advanced Setup
### Custom configurations
If you need to customize the configuration, please refer to the comments in our [.env.example](docker/.env.example) file and update the corresponding values in your `.env` file. Additionally, you might need to make adjustments to the `docker-compose.yaml` file itself, such as changing image versions, port mappings, or volume mounts, based on your specific deployment environment and requirements. After making any changes, please re-run `docker compose up -d`. You can find the full list of available environment variables [here](https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/install-self-hosted/environments).
#### Customizing Suggested Questions
You can now customize the "Suggested Questions After Answer" feature to better fit your use case. For example, to generate longer, more technical questions:
```bash
# In your .env file
SUGGESTED_QUESTIONS_PROMPT='Please help me predict the five most likely technical follow-up questions a developer would ask. Focus on implementation details, best practices, and architecture considerations. Keep each question between 40-60 characters. Output must be JSON array: ["question1","question2","question3","question4","question5"]'
SUGGESTED_QUESTIONS_MAX_TOKENS=512
SUGGESTED_QUESTIONS_TEMPERATURE=0.3
```
See the [Suggested Questions Configuration Guide](docs/suggested-questions-configuration.md) for detailed examples and usage instructions.
### Metrics Monitoring with Grafana
