Lancer
Getting Started

Installation

Install Lancer on your cloud provider

Quick Install

Run this command in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://get.lancer.run | bash

Installation Steps

The installer will guide you through the following steps:

1. Cloud Provider Credentials

Choose how to provide your credentials. For AWS:

  • AWS CLI Profile: Select from your configured profiles
  • Manual Entry: Enter Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and region

The installer validates your credentials before proceeding.

2. Admin Account

Create your admin account:

  • Email: Your login email
  • Password: At least 8 characters

3. Cost Confirmation

Review the estimated monthly cost and confirm to proceed.

4. Deployment

The installer will:

  1. Create a state storage bucket
  2. Deploy the foundation infrastructure
  3. Deploy the Lancer API
  4. Wait for the API to become healthy
  5. Create your admin account

This typically takes 5-10 minutes.

5. Success

Once complete, you'll see:

✓ Lancer is ready!

  URL: http://your-lancer-instance.example.com

Happy deploying!
