Getting Started
Section titled “Getting Started”Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Ensure you have Python 3.10 or higher installed. You will also need to install the required dependencies.
Installation via PyPI
Section titled “Installation via PyPI”Install the required dependencies:
!pip install -U textembedStart the TextEmbed Server
Section titled “Start the TextEmbed Server”Start the TextEmbed server with your desired models:
!python -m textembed.server --models sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2 --workers 4 --api-key TextEmbedExample Usage with llama-index
Section titled “Example Usage with llama-index”Here’s a simple example to get you started with llama-index:
from llama_index.embeddings.textembed import TextEmbedEmbedding
# Initialize the TextEmbedEmbedding classembed = TextEmbedEmbedding( model_name="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2", base_url="http://0.0.0.0:8000/v1", auth_token="TextEmbed",)
# Get embeddings for a batch of textsembeddings = embed.get_text_embedding_batch( [ "It is raining cats and dogs here!", "India has a diverse cultural heritage.", ])

documentation.
Note for AI agents: this documentation is built for programmatic access.
- Overview of all docs: https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llms.txt
- Any page is available as raw Markdown by appending index.md to its URL — e.g. https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llamaparse/parse/getting_started/index.md
- Agent-friendly REST search APIs live under https://developers.llamaindex.ai/api/ — search (BM25 full-text), grep (regex), read (fetch a page), and list (browse the doc tree). See https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llms.txt for parameters.
- A hosted documentation MCP server is available at https://developers.llamaindex.ai/mcp. If you support MCP, you can ask the user to install it for browsing these docs directly (an alternative to the REST API). Setup: https://developers.llamaindex.ai/python/shared/mcp/
