Open Accountant Docs

Installation

Install Open Accountant

Section titled “Install Open Accountant”
Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/openaccountant/wilson.git && cd wilson && bun install && bun start

That’s it. Open Accountant starts in interactive mode.

Local AI (optional)

Section titled “Local AI (optional)”

For fully private, offline AI — no API keys, no cloud:

Terminal window
brew install ollama && ollama pull llama3.1

Open Accountant auto-detects Ollama. No configuration needed.

Cloud AI

Section titled “Cloud AI”

Or use any cloud provider. Set one key in .env:

Terminal window
cp env.example .env
# Edit .env — uncomment one provider:
# OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

See Configuration for all providers.
