Running Cleo

Cleo is designed to operate in flexible environments — from local terminals to remote servers and containerized deployments. Whether you're experimenting with agent behavior or integrating Cleo into a production system, this guide walks through the key steps to get Cleo running cleanly and consistently.

---

Modes of Operation

Cleo can be run in several modes depending on your environment and needs:

1. Interactive Terminal: Default CLI-based interaction loop.

2. Scripted Execution: Batch tasks fed via code or external scripts.

3. Daemonized Agent Loop: Background service for persistent agents.

4. API-Based Operation (coming soon): REST interface for remote communication.

Initial Setup

Ensure Python 3.10+ is installed. Then:

bashCopyEditgit clone https://github.com/HUADA999/Cleo.git
cd Cleo
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your desired configuration for memory backend, agent defaults, and other runtime options.

---

Running Cleo Locally

Method 1: Launch Default Agent

bashCopyEditpython main.py

This will load the default agent defined in main.py and enter an interactive task loop:

bashCopyEdit>>> Find the latest updates on solar energy innovation.

Method 2: Load a Specific Agent

bashCopyEditpython -m cleo.run --agent lex

Add a CLI interface to support flexible agent selection and task chaining (if not already implemented).

---

Logging and Debugging

Cleo includes structured logging (in logs/) and agent-specific transcripts.

You can add runtime debug flags via .env:

iniCopyEditCLEO_DEBUG=true
CLEO_LOG_LEVEL=info

Logging output includes timestamps, task IDs, selected tools, and memory hits.

Subpages

To better support diverse workflows, this section includes three detailed subpages:

• 1. Local Deployment

  • For users developing and testing on their own machines.

• 2. Server & Container Environments

  • Deploying Cleo to a Linux server, Docker, or cloud instance.

• 3. Scheduled & Background Execution

  • Setting up persistent agents and CRON/daemon workflows.

Here is the Local Deployment subpage under the “Running Cleo” section. This page walks users through setting up, running, and testing Cleo on their local machine in a stable and development-ready environment.
