## Common questions

### How do I self-host Sim Studio from scratch?

Run npx sim-setup to create a small deployment directory, provision the database, generate secrets, write .env, connect a Chat API key, and start the published Sim images with Docker Compose.

### How can I check configuration problems separately from service health?

npx sim-setup config reports configured, missing, or invalid capabilities and OAuth integrations without printing credential values. npx sim-setup status reports whether installed services are running and healthy.

### Is a self-hosted login required to use Sim Studio?

A GitHub issue reports that the program requires a self-hosted login and that the docs did not explain how to satisfy or bypass it.
