MAIT image, the environment inside your workspace

The Linux environment your workspace runs, with the MAIT command-line tools, the agent tools and everyday utilities already installed.

You rarely handle the image directly: AIDC Launch starts your workspace from it.

The image supplies software. Your computer and your project settings decide what that software can reach.

Basics
Use it in your workspace

What the image is

When AIDC Launch starts your project, it runs a Linux container from the MAIT image. The image is the software inside that container: the MAIT tools, the agent tools and the utilities a development environment usually needs. You then open a shell in it and run the coding agent you chose.

Your project names the image in its devcontainer configuration, together with a matching set of workspace options. AIDC Launch writes that configuration for you when you set up a project.

The component catalog has a guide for each tool.

What your settings decide

The image installs software, and your workspace settings decide what it reaches:

  • The Docker client is installed; reaching a Docker engine is a workspace setting.
  • Graphics and sound libraries are installed; the display, GPU and audio come from your computer through AIDC Launch.
  • Each agent tool is installed, ready for you to configure and connect.

Check each of these in the workspace you opened.

Versions

The image and its workspace options share a release version. Keep them together, and pin both when your project needs the same environment on every machine. The image is published for Linux on both Intel and ARM processors, with more than one Ubuntu version to choose from.

What you getA prepared environment from the same definition each time you open the project, so you and your agent start work instead of installing tools first; pin the full version to match machines.
