Installation - UpNext

Prerequisites

The upnext package includes the SDK, runtime engine, CLI, and the dashboard server.

pip install upnext

uv add upnext

UpNext requires a running Redis instance. The easiest way to get one locally is with Docker:

docker run --rm -p 6379:6379 redis:7-alpine

If you already have Redis running, just make sure it’s version 7 or higher and accessible at redis://localhost:6379.

upnext --version

You should see the installed version printed. You’re ready to build your first service.
