Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher (for running the installer)
• Git (for cloning repositories)

Language-Specific Requirements

For Python SDKs:

• pip (Python package installer)
• uv (for Arcade AI installation)

For TypeScript/JavaScript SDKs:

• Node.js and npm

For Rust SDKs:

• Rust toolchain (rustc and cargo)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd Agent-SDK-Env-Setup

2. Make the script executable:

chmod +x setup_agent_sdks.py

Usage

Run the interactive setup script:

python3 setup_agent_sdks.py

Step-by-Step Process

1. Directory Selection: Choose between the default directory (~/agents/sdks) or specify a custom path
2. Language Selection: Choose which programming languages you want to work with:
   • Python (13 SDKs)
   • TypeScript/JavaScript (6 SDKs)
   • Rust (2 SDKs)
   • All languages selected by default
3. SDK Selection: Use the interactive menu to select which SDKs to install:
   • SDKs are displayed with language tags for easy identification
   • Enter numbers to toggle selection
   • Use 'a' to select all SDKs
   • Use 'n' to deselect all SDKs
   • Enter 'done' to proceed with installation
4. Installation Confirmation: Review your selections and confirm installation
5. Automated Installation: The script will clone repositories and run installation commands for each selected SDK

Default Installation Directory

The script uses ~/agents/sdks as the default installation directory. This directory will be created automatically if it doesn't exist.

Error Handling

The script includes comprehensive error handling for:

• Directory creation failures
• Git clone failures
• Package installation failures
• Invalid user input
• Missing dependencies

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Git not found: Ensure Git is installed and available in your PATH
2. Permission errors: Make sure you have write permissions to the installation directory
3. Package installation failures: Check that pip and other required tools are properly installed
4. Network issues: Ensure you have internet connectivity for cloning repositories

Getting Help

If you encounter issues:

1. Check the error messages for specific details
2. Ensure all prerequisites are installed
3. Verify network connectivity
4. Check file permissions in the installation directory

Contributing

To add new SDKs to the installer:

1. Edit the sdks.json configuration file
2. Add the new SDK under the appropriate language section:

{
  "languages": {
    "python": {
      "name": "Python",
      "sdks": {
        "Your SDK Name": {
          "repo": "https://github.com/owner/repo",
          "install_commands": ["pip install package-name"],
          "description": "Brief description of the SDK"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Update the metadata.total_sdks count in sdks.json
4. The script will automatically incorporate your changes on the next run
