# Quick Setup

## Ethereal SDK Quick Setup Guide 🚀

Welcome to the Ethereal SDK quick setup guide! Follow these steps to install, configure, and run your first agentic AI system. 🤖

### Prerequisites ✅

Before starting, make sure you have the following installed:

* Python 3.8+ (Check your version with `python --version`) 
* Git (Optional, for cloning the repository) 
* pip or Poetry (For managing dependencies) 

If Python is not installed, you can download it from [Python.org](https://www.python.org/).

### Step 1: Clone the Repository (Optional) 🧑‍💻

If you want to get the latest version from GitHub, run:

```sh
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/ethereal-sdk.git
cd ethereal-sdk
```

### Step 2: Set Up a Virtual Environment (Recommended) 🌱

To avoid dependency conflicts, it's recommended to create a virtual environment:

```sh
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # macOS/Linux 🍏
venv\Scripts\activate    # Windows 🪟
```

### Step 3: Install Dependencies ⚙️

You can install the dependencies using either pip or Poetry.

#### Using pip:

```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Or using Poetry:

```sh
poetry install 
```

### Step 4: Run Examples 💡

After installation, try running a sample agent to ensure everything is set up properly:

```sh
python -m examples.integration_example
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://evangelinelabs.gitbook.io/ethereal/setup/quick-setup.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
