Manual Testing

Building a local tarball

Run npm run bundle from the agentcore-cli directory. This bundles the CLI along with the CDK constructs from the sister repo (agentcore-l3-cdk-constructs) into a single installable tarball.

cd agentcore-cli
npm run bundle

Installing locally (without conflicting with global installs)

Install the tarball into your working directory so it doesn't conflict with other agentcore commands on the machine:

# From the parent workspace directory
npm init -y  # if no package.json exists yet
npm install ./agentcore-cli/aws-agentcore-*.tgz

Then run it with:

npx agentcore

Or add node_modules/.bin to your PATH for this directory only:

export PATH="$(pwd)/node_modules/.bin:$PATH"
agentcore
