### Prerequisites

Before installing Flowsint, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

- **Docker** and **Docker Compose**
- **Make** (for build automation)
- **Git**

### Installation

Clone the repo and run the start command.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/reconurge/flowsint.git
cd flowsint
make prod
```

Some enrichers require API keys. Check out [this section](/docs/getting-started/enrichers#api-keys) to learn more.

The application should automatically open at http://localhost:5173.

### Create your first investigation

Start by logging in or registering from the home page. From your dashboard, create a new investigation by clicking "New investigation." Add your first entity—such as a domain name—to the canvas. Right-click the entity to open the context menu and run an enricher. As results appear, explore the newly discovered entities and relationships directly in the graph.

### Running your first enricher

You could start by discovering subdomains for a domain for example.

Add a domain entity like `example.com` to your investigation, then right-click the domain node and select the "domain_to_subdomains" enricher. Wait for the enricher to complete; newly discovered subdomains will be added to your graph for you to review.
