Quickstart

From zero to a fully authorized, audited agent stack in four steps. Under an hour on most machines (plus model download time).

Step 1: Install Carryall

Install the Carryall authorization engine and pull the local policy model. Access decisions are compiled by a local LLM — they never leave your network.

Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/anthropics/carryall.git
cd carryall/authority-runtime-python
pip install -e .

Initialize your deployment

carryall init ~/my-deployment
cd ~/my-deployment

Pull the local policy model (14GB)

What just happened: You installed the authorization engine that will sign every agent action. The Ollama model handles policy compilation — when an agent says “I need to read Q4 invoices,” the local LLM determines the minimal permissions required and returns a signed envelope.
