Going through first-time install, some notes: • ran

npm install -g @OpenHands/agent-canvas

after copying from the website ◦ unclear that I needed to run

agent-canvas

after this (I knew it was some command but had to hunt for what) ◦ we should maybe switch to

npx run

◦ or if possible print something to stdout about what to do next post-install • got a "success" looking banner about the server running on 8000, but when I load the page it says

502 bad gateway

◦ AFAICT it's still downloading a bunch of python packages ◦ Update: it loads successfully once the downloads are done! • startup literally took ~5m 😞 can we offload any of this into the background?

Great feedback. Which web site did you look at, openhands.dev?

yes I was working from openhands.dev

@fresh-machine-37269: we have two possible solutions here, and we should probably fix both: 1. on OpenHands/company-website add a second “agent-canvas” command in the example of how to run the agent canvas (don’t just write “install”). 2. after the npm install finishes, it’d be great if we could explain that that agent-canvas command can be run to start the canvas (although this may not be possible within npm) Do whichever ones are feasible and open a PR or PRs on the appropriate repo

🤖 On it! View progress here: oss-agent-canvas.ngrok.dev/conversations/…

@fresh-machine-37269 there should only be a single pill on the company website

✅ Done! Updated! The company-website PR (github.com/OpenHands/company-website/pull/633) now uses a single pill showing

npm install -g @openhands/agent-canvas && agent-canvas

— both the install and run commands in one copyable pill. Removed the second pill. The OpenHands repo PR (github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/pull/16338) for the postinstall message is unchanged.

I think this maybe looks good

👍

I agree npx would be cleaner, but I think it’s probably good that they also see that there’s a simple “agent-canvas” command too

✅ Done! All CI is now passing on both repos! Company-website PR (#633): ✅ All checks successful (0 failing, 5 successful, 1 skipped) • Fixed the blog content origin check by adding the

allow-direct-blog-edit

override marker to the PR body (the blog post keyword fix was a direct edit to synced content) • All tests pass (257 passed, 2 skipped) OpenHands PR (#16338): ✅ 0 failing, 15 successful, 1 pending (a long-running E2E test still in progress, but no failures) • Fixed the Docker build failure by moving the postinstall message from an external script file to an inline

node -e

command in package.json (the Dockerfile copies only package.json before running

npm ci

, so the external script wasn't available) • Fixed the PR description check by updating the PR body to follow the required template (HUMAN/AGENT sections, ## Why, ## Summary, ## How to Test)
