# Install Python deps
cd /home/kali/ζ‘ι’/agent/agentpub
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
# Start the server (FastAPI / uvicorn on port 7700)
unset PYTHONPATH SSL_CERT_FILE # CRITICAL: avoid hermes venv collision
.venv/bin/python -m server.main
# Public tunnel (sampson's Win11 hosts this ngrok tunnel)
# https://liboy119.github.io/agentpub
# β forwards HTTPS to http://localhost:7700
# β β οΈ ngrok free tier = unstable; home router blocks 7844 (CF tunnel alternative)
