title: "Quick Start"
description: "Get up and running with Fabro"

<Note>
Fabro has two modes:
- **Standalone mode** — Run workflows directly from the CLI. This is what the quick start covers below.
- **Server mode** — An API server with a web UI for launching and managing workflow runs at scale. See [Server Mode](/administration/deploy-server) for details.
</Note>
## Supported platforms
| OS | Architecture | Supported |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Linux | x86_64 | Yes |
| Linux | arm64 (aarch64) | Yes |
| macOS | arm64 (Apple Silicon) | Yes |
| macOS | x86_64 (Intel) | No |
| Windows | any | No |
<Note>
On Intel Macs, run Fabro in a Linux x86_64 container or VM. Native Windows isn't supported; use WSL2 with a supported Linux architecture.

<Tip>
Release binaries and the multi-arch Docker image ship with [SLSA Build Provenance](/reference/verifying-releases) attestations you can verify with `gh attestation verify`.
</Tip>
<Note>
Setting up server mode instead? Run `fabro server start` to finish setup in a browser-based wizard. See [Running the Fabro Server](/administration/deploy-server) for the full flow.
</Note>
## Initialize your project
```bash
cd my-repo/
fabro repo init
```
This creates `.fabro/project.toml` and a starter workflow under `.fabro/workflows/hello/`.
## Configure API keys
Add at least one LLM provider key:
```bash
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
GEMINI_API_KEY=AI...
```
<Note>
You only need one provider key to get started. Add more to enable multi-model workflows.
</Note>
## Run your first workflow
```bash
fabro run hello
```
