Install
Install Astreus with npm, yarn, or pnpm, confirm the required Node.js version, and prepare a local project for building AI agents with the framework.
Node.js Version Requirements
Astreus requires Node.js >=22.0.0. Here's how to check your version:
node --versionIf you need to update Node.js, visit nodejs.org
Installing Astreus
1. Install Astreus
Install Astreus using npm or your preferred package manager:
npm install @astreus-ai/astreusOr with yarn:
yarn add @astreus-ai/astreusOr with pnpm:
pnpm add @astreus-ai/astreusInstallation successful! You're ready to create your first AI agent.
After installation, the package is ready to import into TypeScript projects, local prototypes, and production services. Most teams continue with the quickstart guide, create an agent instance, configure a provider, and then add memory, tools, or graph workflows as the application grows. Keeping this setup small at the beginning makes it easier to validate the runtime before adding more advanced orchestration.
