The steps to install and configure Deep Agents are as follows:
- environmental preparation: Ensure that you are using Python 3.8 or higher and recommend creating a virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts.
- installer: Install the latest version directly via pip (
pip install deepagents
), which is available after installation through thepython -m deepagents --version
Verify that it was successful. - Configuring the API Key: The API key for an external LLM (e.g. OpenAI or Anthropic) needs to be set in an environment variable. Configuration can be done via .env file or direct export of environment variables, the key should be strictly protected.
- Verify Installation: Run sample code (e.g. initialize the agent and perform simple tasks) to ensure the environment is correct.
After completing the above steps, users can start building AI agents with Deep Agents.
