Check the repository’s declared tools
Before installing anything, inspect the root files and documentation after cloning. Do not assume Node.js, Python, Docker, or a package manager from the project name alone.
Local runbook · evidence first
Run Agent Relay locally.
A deliberately small path from the repository to a working local checkout—without guessing at package managers, ports, environment keys, or startup scripts.
01 / Setup path
One step at a time, with no invented defaults.
Mark each completed step locally. This checklist does not save answers, send telemetry, or submit anything.
Clone the repository
Use the canonical HTTPS repository URL.
Repository evidence
git clone https://github.com/ketut-garjita/agent-relay.gitEnter the project directory
Repository evidence
cd agent-relayInstall the declared dependencies
The supplied repository evidence does not identify a manifest or package manager, so this guide does not fabricate an install command. Open the repository README and root manifest, verify the declared tool and command, then run only what they document.
Do not substitute. Using a familiar command such as
npm install, pip install, or docker compose up without source evidence can create a different environment from the one the project supports.Configure local environment values
Look for an explicitly provided example environment file and copy only the keys documented by the repository. No environment filename, key, default, or required port is asserted here because none was included in the supplied source evidence.
Configuration evidence to locate
Check the README, tracked example files such as .env.example, configuration modules, and startup scripts. Preserve the project’s exact key names. Treat secrets and local credentials as private; never commit them.
When the example file is present
Copy the example using the command documented by the repository, then replace only values that the local setup requires. If a value has no documented default, stop and resolve it from the source rather than guessing.
Start the relay
Use the development command documented by the repository—typically found in its README or manifest scripts. Because that command is not present in the supplied evidence, verify it in the checkout before running it; no substitute is printed as if it were official.
Verify the running relay
Use the repository’s documented health check, sample client, request, or success log. Verify the port and endpoint in the repository before running anything; do not infer either from convention. A useful verification has observable evidence: a documented response, a connected sample client, or a log line that the source defines as successful.
02 / Recovery
Troubleshoot from evidence, not folklore.
These are investigation paths. The repository remains the authority for exact commands, versions, ports, and configuration names.
| Symptom | Inspect first | Safe next move |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime or package manager is missing | Root manifest, lockfile, README prerequisites | Install the declared tool and version; do not switch package managers casually. |
| Dependency installation fails | Exact error, lockfile, runtime version, network or registry settings | Resolve the first error, then repeat the repository’s documented install command. |
| Address or port is already occupied | Startup configuration and the process holding the documented port | Stop the conflicting local process or use only a port override the repository documents. |
| Required environment value is absent | Example environment file, configuration loader, startup validation | Find the documented value or default. Never paste a secret into source control. |
| Client cannot connect or route a request | Relay logs, documented endpoint, client configuration, network binding | Confirm the relay is listening where the source says it should and test the documented request path. |
