watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition runs as a local server on your computer, giving you a dedicated development environment. The ADK includes commands that help you manage this local setup. You can install two main components:
  • watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition: watsonx Orchestrate server This is a local version of watsonx Orchestrate that runs on http://localhost:4321. It includes its own UI, API endpoints, and optional services—such as Langfuse—that you can enable to build your agents.
  • watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition: Orchestrate copilot server This is the Orchestrate copilot assistant that helps you build and refine agents and tools. You can interact with it using the orchestrate copilot commands or through the Orchestrate copilot extension.
watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition runs inside a Docker container. To use it, you need to install Docker Engine on your machine and configure a .env file with the required authentication variables to pull the container images.
