Note: To start Khoj automatically in the background use [Task scheduler](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-automated-task-using-task-scheduler-windows-10) on Windows or [Cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) on Mac, Linux (e.g with `@reboot khoj`)
Use the sample docker-compose [in Github](https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/blob/master/docker-compose.yml) to run Khoj in Docker. To start the container, run the following command in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file. You'll have to configure the mounted directories to match your local knowledge base.
```shell
docker-compose up
```
Khoj should now be running at http://localhost:42110. You can see the web UI in your browser.
This part is currently optional, but may make setup and configuration slightly easier. It removes the need for setting up custom file paths for your Khoj data configurations. Instead, you can simply select the folders or files, and they'll be automatically uploaded to the server. Once you specify a file or file path, you don't need to update the configuration again; it will grab any data diffs dynamically over time.
**To download, go to https://download.khoj.dev** and the correct executable for your OS will automatically start downloading. Once downloaded, you can configure your folders for indexing using the settings tab. To set your chat configuration, you'll have to use the web interface for the Khoj server you setup in the previous step.
