n8n is a workflow automation platform that gives technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. With 400+ integrations, native AI capabilities, and a fair-code license, n8n lets you build powerful automations while maintaining full control over your data and deployments.
Note: This project is forked from the official n8nio/n8n repository and includes additional components to allow for Puppeteer to function properly within code nodes.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following tools installed:
Docker is required to build and run containers for n8n. If you don't have Docker installed, you can follow the instructions below to get it set up on your machine.
