Software

agentOS ships with a common set of POSIX utilities (coreutils, sed, grep, gawk, findutils, diffutils, tar, gzip) out of the box. The software option installs additional packages, each providing one or more CLI commands.

Install

npm install @rivet-dev/agentos @agentos-software/pi

Add packages like @agentos-software/ripgrep or @agentos-software/jq for anything beyond the default utilities. Browse the full catalog on the Registry.

Usage

Import the software packages you want, list them in the software array on the actor, then run commands through the client handle.

server.tsclient.ts

server.ts

import { agentOS, setup } from "@rivet-dev/agentos";
import pi from "@agentos-software/pi";
import ripgrep from "@agentos-software/ripgrep";
import jq from "@agentos-software/jq";

// Each entry adds its CLI commands to the VM. Common POSIX utilities ship by
// default; `pi` is the agent, and `ripgrep`/`jq` add the `rg` and `jq`
// commands. Browse the registry for more packages.
const vm = agentOS({
  software: [pi, ripgrep, jq],
});

export const registry = setup({ use: { vm } });

registry.start();

client.ts

import { createClient } from "@rivet-dev/agentos/client";
import type { registry } from "./server";

const client = createClient<typeof registry>({
  endpoint: "http://localhost:6420",
});
const agent = client.vm.getOrCreate("my-agent");

// `rg` (ripgrep) and `jq` are now available inside the VM. Find files containing
// "TODO" and pretty-print the matching paths as JSON.
const result = await agent.exec("rg --files-with-matches TODO /home/agentos | jq -R .");
console.log(result.stdout);
