Astreus requires Node.js >=22.0.0. Here's how to check your version:

bash

node --version

Installing Astreus#

1. Install Astreus#

Install Astreus using npm or your preferred package manager:

bash

npm install @astreus-ai/astreus

Or with yarn:

bash

yarn add @astreus-ai/astreus

Or with pnpm:

bash

pnpm add @astreus-ai/astreus

Installation 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.
