Installation & Setup
Howlet Studio deploys to your infrastructure with the Kubernetes Helm chart: four deployment modes, four capacity profiles, one package.
Editions: Howlet Studio is licensed in four editions: Standard, Business, Enterprise and, for partners, Platform Edition. Data Engineering, Stream Data, Governance and Air-Gapped add-on modules can be attached to any edition.
Kubernetes (Helm)
helm repo add howlet https://charts.howlet.ai
helm install howlet-studio howlet/ai-studio \
--namespace howlet \
--create-namespace \
--values values.yamlAir-Gapped Installation
For offline environments, all images, configuration and the offline license ship in a single USB bundle. An air-gapped install unlocks exactly the same feature set as an online one.
Post-Installation Steps
- Health check: Verify all 14 platform services with howlet-admin health; schema migrations apply automatically at startup
- Change default password: Log in to admin panel and update credentials immediately
- Configure RBAC: Set up roles and organization settings
- Set up email (SMTP): Configure for OTP delivery and notifications
- SSL certificates: Configure with Certbot or your certificate provider
Important: Change the default admin password immediately after first login. Strong password policy is enforced for production environments.
