Setup

We recommend using Dreamlab in your browser with no setup required. This version has all the features, including built-in version control and an in-browser script editor. AI features are currently unavailable locally but we will include documentation on importing your own OpenAI/Anthropic key very soon. However, you can run it locally with the following:

git clone https://github.com/WorldQL/dreamlab-engine
cd dreamlab-engine/multiplayer
# create project and start server
PROJECT_NAME=my-new-project

cp -r multiplayer/worlds/dreamlab/template-project "multiplayer/worlds/dreamlab/$PROJECT_NAME" \
&& cd multiplayer \
&& deno task start --spawn "dreamlab/$PROJECT_NAME"


# open new terminal window
# start editor
cd dreamlab-engine
cd editor/
deno task watch

Then open http://localhost:5173/?instance=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&server=ws%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8001 and you'll see the editor!
