Flowise has 3 different modules in a single mono repository.

  3. Install all dependencies of all modules:

    pnpm install
  4. Build all the code:

    pnpm build
    Exit code 134 (JavaScript heap out of memory) If you get this error when running the above `build` script, try increasing the Node.js heap size and run the script again:
    # macOS / Linux / Git Bash
    export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"
    
    # Windows PowerShell
    $env:NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"
    
    # Windows CMD
    set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096
