Installation

This guide will walk you through installing the Saiki CLI and setting up your environment so you can start running agents.

Install Saiki globally using npm:

npm install -g @truffle-ai/saiki

This adds the saiki command to your system, giving you access to the agent runtime.

Saiki agents use Large Language Models for reasoning. Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

Saiki will automatically detect and use this key.

Test your installation with a simple command:

saiki "What is the current version of typescript?"

If you receive a response, your installation is successful and the runtime is working correctly.

Next Step: Build Your First Agent

Now that Saiki is installed, you're ready to create your first custom agent with its own configuration and capabilities.
