What you need

  • A Mac running macOS 13 (Ventura) or laterApple silicon or Intel.
  • Git, and access to the repositoryShufti clones with your own git access.
  • Node.js and npmSo JavaScript projects can be installed and started.
  • Docker, if you want itOptional. With Docker running, repository code is sandboxed in a container. Without it, Shufti uses an isolated local process.
  • An Anthropic API keyFor the AI director.
  • An ElevenLabs API keyFor narration. Without one, videos are silent with captions.

Shufti's system check (Help, Run System Check) looks for these and tells you how to fix anything missing. The video encoder is built into the app.
