* Export and Import Workflow Tags Support exporting and importing tags of workflows via frontend and cli. On export, all tag data is included in the json. - id - name - updatedAt - createdAt When importing a workflow json to n8n we: - first check if a tag with the same id and createdAt date exists in the database, then we can assume the tag is identical. Changes on the name of the tag are now preserved. - check if a tag with the same name exists on the database. - create a new tag with the given name. * clean up fe export * remove usage count * return updatedat, createdat * fix tags import * move logic from workflow package * refactor import * check for tags before import * update checks on type * fix on import * fix build issues * fix type issue * remove unnessary ? * update tag helpers so only name is required * fix tag import * add don't replace existing tags * fix build issue * address comments * fix with promise.all * update setting tags * update check * fix existing check * add helper * fix duplication * fix multiple same tags bug * fix db bugs * add more validation on workflow type * fix validation * disable importing tags on copy paste Co-authored-by: Luca Berneking <l.berneking@mittwald.de> |

📺 Here's a 📺 short video (< 4 min) that goes over key concepts of creating workflows in n8n.
Getting Started
There are a couple of ways to get started with n8n.
Use npx
To spin up n8n using npx, you can run:
npx n8n
It will download everything that is needed to start n8n.
You can then access n8n by opening: http://localhost:5678
Note: The minimum required version for Node.js is v14.15. Make sure to update Node.js to v14.15 or above.
Run with Docker
To play around with n8n, you can also start it using Docker:
docker run -it --rm \
--name n8n \
-p 5678:5678 \
n8nio/n8n
Be aware that all the data will be lost once the Docker container gets removed. To persist the data mount the ~/.n8n
folder:
docker run -it --rm \
--name n8n \
-p 5678:5678 \
-v ~/.n8n:/home/node/.n8n \
n8nio/n8n
n8n also offers a Docker image for Raspberry Pi: n8nio/n8n:latest-rpi
.
Refer to the documentation for more information on the Docker setup.
Install with npm
To install n8n globally using npm:
npm install n8n -g
After the installation, start n8n running the following command:
n8n
# or
n8n start
Sign-up on n8n.cloud
Sign-up for an n8n.cloud account.
While n8n.cloud and n8n are the same in terms of features, n8n.cloud provides certain conveniences such as:
- Not having to set up and maintain your n8n instance
- Managed OAuth for authentication
- Easily upgrading to the newer n8n versions
Available integrations
n8n has 280+ different nodes that allow you to connect various services and build your automation workflows. You can find the list of all the integrations at https://n8n.io/integrations
Documentation
To learn more about n8n, refer to the official documentation here: https://docs.n8n.io
You can find additional information and example workflows on the n8n.io website.
Create Custom Nodes
You can create custom nodes for n8n. Follow the instructions mentioned in the documentation to create your node: Creating nodes

What does n8n mean, and how do you pronounce it?
Short answer: n8n is an abbreviation for "nodemation", and it is pronounced as n-eight-n.
Long answer: In n8n, you build your automation ("-mation") workflows by connecting different nodes in the Editor UI. The project is also built using Node.js. As a consequence, the project was named nodemation.
However, the name was long, and it wouldn't be a good idea to use such a long name in the CLI. Hence, nodemation got abbreviated as "n8n" (there are eight characters between the first and the last n!).
