Prerequisites

Before you begin, you must have the following installed:

  1. AWS CLI
  2. Node.js and NPM
  3. AWS CDK
  4. TypeScript

This method uses a readily available shell script to install the agent blueprints NPM package and its required dependencies. You do not need to install the agent blueprint separately if you use this method. Follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: 

git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-samples.git

2. Navigate to the appropriate folder: 

cd amazon-bedrock-samples/agents-for-bedrock/agent-blueprint-templates/
3. Run the shell script to install all the dependencies:

./blueprints.sh init
After completing these steps, you should have the Agent Blueprints package installed along with its dependencies, and your environment will be ready to use the Agent Blueprints.

Note: You may still have to configure your AWS CLI. The shell script will only install the necessary dependencies. To learn about configuring AWS CLI, click here

Manual Installation

Alternatively, you can manually install the dependencies by following these steps:

  1. AWS CLI: Make sure you have the AWS CLI installed and configured with your credentials.

  2. Node.js and npm: Install the latest stable version of Node.js and npm. 

    # For Mac
brew install node

# For Ubuntu
sudo apt install nodejs

  3. AWS CDK: Install the AWS CDK globally. 

    npm install -g aws-cdk@2.147.3

  4. TypeScript: The Agent Blueprints are only available in TypeScript.

  5. CDK Bootstrap: Bootstrap your AWS environment. 

    cdk bootstrap aws://<your-account-number>/<region-to-bootstrap>

After completing either method, you should have all the necessary dependencies installed and your environment prepared to use Agent Blueprints.
