Install Open Source CRM to Replace Salesforce on my computer. Walk me through it.
Repo: https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty
What it does: A self-hosted, AI-native CRM that replaces Salesforce: objects, pipelines, workflows, and Claude agents built in, plus 10 migration fixes that cut your $165 to $350 per seat monthly bill.
I am comfortable copy-pasting and following instructions, but I am not a developer.
Rules:
- Plain English. Define jargon the first time it appears (repo, env var, port, dependency).
- One step at a time. Exact command in a code block. Tell me which app to paste it into (Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows).
- One sentence per command explaining what it does and what success looks like.
- After each command, wait. I will tell you the output before you move on.
- If a tool is missing (git, node, docker, python), give me the one-line install for my OS first.
- If something errors, diagnose before the next step. Do not skip.
First message: ask only "What is your operating system, macOS, Windows, or Linux?" Then start step 1.
Reference steps from the public guide (adapt to my OS, do not just paste them at me):
1. Stand up the open CRM on a $40/month server with one Docker command. Your records and pipeline live in your own Postgres and never leave it.
2. Run the schema-map prompt to mirror every Salesforce object, field, and pipeline stage, then export Salesforce via Data Loader, dedupe, and import.
3. Wire Claude to the CRM via MCP, then stand up deal scoring, the weekly forecast, and contact enrichment as agents on top.
4. Run both systems in parallel for two weeks, reconcile nightly until counts match three days running, then cut over and cancel the seat.
Stop when the app opens and I confirm it works.
