Run the Runtime

Start the local Lite Runtime from the repository root:


npm run -s dev

By default, Aionis is a loopback service for developer machines and self-managed deployments. It is designed to sit beside your Agent host, not replace the host.

Environment

The shortest first-run configuration is:


export EMBEDDING_PROVIDER="minimax"
export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your-minimax-key"

Common local settings:

Variable	Purpose
`EMBEDDING_PROVIDER`	Selects the embedding provider.
`MINIMAX_API_KEY`	MiniMax embedding provider key.
`AIONIS_PRODUCT_E2E_BASE_URL`	Base URL used by product e2e scripts.

Health Check

Use the HTTP surface after the server starts:


curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:3001/health

Then run a product quickstart:


npm run -s runtime:quickstart:sdk

Continue with First Agent Loop.
