Instead of relying on a single large language model prompt, CrewAI allows developers to create specialized agents with distinct roles, responsibilities, and goals. These agents can collaborate, delegate work, share information, and execute multi-step workflows autonomously. + +## Deploying a Quick Deploy App + +{{% content "deploy-marketplace-apps-shortguide" %}} + +{{% content "marketplace-verify-standard-shortguide" %}} + +{{< note >}} +**Estimated deployment time:** CrewAI should be fully installed within 5-7 minutes after the Compute Instance has finished provisioning. +{{< /note >}} + +## Configuration Options + +- **Supported distributions:** Ubuntu 24.04 LTS +- **Recommended plan:** All plan types and sizes can be used. + +## CrewAI Options + +{{% content "marketplace-required-limited-user-fields-shortguide" %}} + +{{% content "marketplace-special-character-limitations-shortguide" %}} + +## Getting Started after Deployment + +### Create Your First Crew + +Once the deployment is complete, the `crewai` binary will be installed on the instance.
