embabel up
Start the appliance and complete first-run setup. Safe to run at any time — a running mode is reconciled with the compose file rather than started twice, and a completed setup says so instead of asking again.
| Flag | |
|---|---|
--worlds |
the world runtime and its console |
--me |
the personal-assistant door |
--fresh |
delete all data first (asks), then start over |
With neither flag it starts the mode this machine is already running, or was last
set up as — recorded as EMBABEL_MODE in .env the first time. Without that
record, embabel down then embabel up handed an assistant user a world runtime
on the same graph and said nothing about it. The installer now opens the Worlds
door too, which narrows the gap without closing it: EMBABEL_MODE=me ... | sh
installs an assistant, and this has to come back to one. Worlds is the fallback
for a machine that has set up neither.
The first run pulls roughly 0.8 GB before handing the terminal back, then
continues downloading the rest — the code sandbox, metrics, and structured
document conversion — behind you. embabel status says what is still arriving.
