Setup wizard
Set up Meido opens while workspace, vault, a provider key, the system LLM, MemPalace, or Steel Browser is missing. Run it again from Settings → Overview → Run Setup Wizard, or from Settings → Environment.
Each step writes to .env. A hand edit shows up the next time the screen loads. Blank secret fields are skipped.
1. Workspace
Section titled “1. Workspace”Set the workspace directory, the IANA timezone, and the display name.
2. Web access
Section titled “2. Web access”This machine sets the host to 127.0.0.1. Every interface sets it to 0.0.0.0. A DNS name such as pp.local needs mDNS, a hosts entry, or a router name. Set the port. An access token is required when the desk is reachable off this machine.
3. Vault
Section titled “3. Vault”Set the notes path, the vector database path, the collection name, the principles file, the embedding server URL, and the vault git repo. Paths inside the workspace can be relative. Paths outside it stay absolute.
4. System LLM
Section titled “4. System LLM”Choose the provider and model used for quiet work (topic titles, the service briefing, and the other jobs on Settings → System LLM). Provider keys saved here land under Settings → Connections: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, OpenRouter, and DeepSeek.
5. Cursor
Section titled “5. Cursor”The Cursor engine needs Node.js and npm. The Cursor API key is saved under Settings → Connections.
6. MemPalace and Steel
Section titled “6. MemPalace and Steel”MemPalace and Steel Browser are required. Install MemPalace and Steel skips anything already installed. You can also set a Tavily key and a SearXNG URL. Install login service is optional, and only on macOS and Linux.
7. Finish
Section titled “7. Finish”Workspace, vault, and system LLM values are in .env. Press Restart Meido when the banner says a restart is required. Finish closes the wizard.
