EverOS Setup and Config

Use this sub-skill when a user wants to install EverOS, configure the memory root, start the HTTP service, check capability status, inspect effective settings, or run the local/demo experience.

Read/run map

• Read configuration for install commands, root resolution, everos init, everos config show, server startup, health, and demo modes.
• Read troubleshooting when import, config, provider, server, or demo errors appear.
• Run check_everos_install.py to inspect an installed package, CLI availability, default templates, and no-lifespan OpenAPI construction without starting a server.

Core workflow

python -m pip install everos

everos init --root ~/.everos
$EDITOR ~/.everos/everos.toml

everos config show --root ~/.everos

everos server start --root ~/.everos
curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/health

Fill [llm] before expecting the normal server to start. Fill [embedding] and [rerank] before expecting vector/hybrid/agentic search, knowledge write/search, clustering, and backfill behavior. Use everos demo --plain before provider setup; use everos demo --live only against a running configured server.

Important decisions

• Use Python 3.12+.
• Keep the same memory root across init, server start, config show, and cascade commands.
• Prefer loopback binding (127.0.0.1) unless the service is behind an authenticated gateway.
• Use ENV=DEV only when the runtime OpenAPI endpoint is needed; the bundled OpenAPI helper can inspect schema without running the server.
• Do not treat optional provider credentials as verified unless the target environment supplies them.

Common triggers

This sub-skill should handle prompts mentioning EverOS install, everos init, everos.toml, ome.toml, EVEROS_ROOT, everos config show, server start, /health, demo --plain, demo --live, missing API keys, or first-run setup.
