Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is publicly accessible and describes the project as open source under the MIT license. Local development requires Git, Node.js and pnpm; Windows development additionally lists the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015–2022.

  • Botpress combines Studio with code-oriented SDK and CLI resources, allowing teams to choose between visual and programmatic development paths.
  • The CLI supports building, deploying and managing bots, integrations and plugins.
  • The SDK is specifically described as a tool for building integrations, while the client package is for consuming Botpress APIs.
  • The repository's code-based bot examples are described as useful for experienced developers and not as a replacement for Botpress Studio.
  • Integration deployment is workspace-based, with private visibility by default and a separate public-visibility command.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
