Install nexo-rs
Boot paths
Materials advertise zero-config boot with a local broker, multi-arch containers on ghcr.io, and static binaries. Prefer official images/tags; read release notes for breaking plugin contracts.
Recommended proof order
- Run binary/container locally; confirm health
- Attach one LLM provider
- Enable one messaging agent (Telegram often easiest)
- Only then add NATS, browser/Gmail agents, MCP servers
First-week checklist
- Decide local broker vs NATS early
- Map DLQ/disk queue behavior for your deploy
- Inventory plugins and verify signatures if required
- Separate private vs public agent configs
