Run StartKit.AI

If you’ve been following the guide, you should now have the following systems set up:

  1. The StartKit.AI code
  2. A MongoDB database
  3. A Pinecone index (optional)
  4. An S3 Bucket to store data
  5. An OpenAI API Key

Now we should be able to run StartKit.AI!

Make sure the following variables are set in your .env file:

# Database
MONGO_URI=
# Pinecone
PINECONE_API_KEY=
PINECONE_INDEX_HOST=
# S3 Storage
STORAGE_URL=
STORAGE_REGION=
STORAGE_KEY=
STORAGE_SECRET=
STORAGE_NAME=
# OpenAI Key
OPENAI_KEY=

Some other variables are included as well, but the defaults should work without needing to be changed. See the .env page for an explanation of all the .env variables.

Start the app

To run StartKit.AI in development mode run the following command:

yarn dev
# or with npm
