SDK Installation

Install the FluxLoop SDK for Python agent instrumentation.

Requirements​

  • Python 3.11 or higher
  • pip
Python Version Requirement

The FluxLoop SDK requires Python 3.11+ due to advanced type hints and protocol features used for tracing context management.

Install via pip​

pip install fluxloop

With Optional Dependencies​

Install with framework-specific extras:

# For LangChain integration
pip install fluxloop[langchain]

# For LangGraph integration
pip install fluxloop[langgraph]

# For development (includes test tools)
pip install fluxloop[dev]

# Multiple extras
pip install fluxloop[langchain,langgraph]

Verify Installation​

Check that the SDK is installed correctly:

import fluxloop

# Check version
print(fluxloop.__version__)  # Should print: 0.1.7

# Test basic functionality
fluxloop.configure(enabled=True, debug=True)
print("FluxLoop SDK ready!")

Expected output:

0.1.7
FluxLoop SDK ready!

Quick Test​

Create a simple test file to verify tracing works:

# test_fluxloop.py
import fluxloop

@fluxloop.agent(name="TestAgent")
def test_agent(message: str) -> str:
    return f"Echo: {message}"

# Run the agent
result = test_agent("Hello, FluxLoop!")
print(result)

Run it:

python test_fluxloop.py

Expected:

  • Prints: Echo: Hello, FluxLoop!
  • Creates ./traces/ directory with JSONL files
  • Check ./traces/traces_YYYYMMDD.jsonl for trace data

Troubleshooting​

"Python version 3.11 required"​

Issue: SDK requires Python 3.11+

Solution:

# Check Python version
python --version

# Install Python 3.11+ if needed
# macOS (Homebrew):
brew install python@3.11

# Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install python3.11

# Then create venv with correct version
python3.11 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install fluxloop

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fluxloop'"​

Issue: SDK not installed or wrong Python environment

Solution:

# Verify installation
pip list | grep fluxloop

# Reinstall if missing
pip install --force-reinstall fluxloop

# Check Python environment
which python

Import Errors for Optional Dependencies​

Issue: Using LangChain/LangGraph without installing extras

Solution:

# Install with extras
pip install fluxloop[langchain]
# or
pip install fluxloop[langgraph]

Virtual Environment Setup​

It's recommended to use a virtual environment:

Using venv​

# Create virtual environment
python3.11 -m venv .venv

# Activate (macOS/Linux)
source .venv/bin/activate

# Activate (Windows)
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Install FluxLoop
pip install fluxloop

Using Poetry​

# Initialize project
poetry init

# Add FluxLoop
poetry add fluxloop

# With extras
poetry add fluxloop[langchain,langgraph]

Using pipenv​

# Install with pipenv
pipenv install fluxloop

# With extras
pipenv install fluxloop[langchain]

Upgrading​

Upgrade to the latest version:

# Upgrade via pip
pip install --upgrade fluxloop

# Check new version
python -c "import fluxloop; print(fluxloop.__version__)"

Development Installation​

For contributing or local development:

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/chuckgu/fluxloop.git
cd fluxloop/packages/sdk

# Install in editable mode with dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest

# Run type checking
mypy fluxloop

# Run linter
ruff check fluxloop

Platform-Specific Notes​

macOS​

Works out of the box with Homebrew Python:

brew install python@3.11
pip3 install fluxloop

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)​

# Install Python 3.11
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-venv python3-pip

# Install FluxLoop
python3.11 -m pip install fluxloop

Windows​

# Install Python 3.11 from python.org

# Install FluxLoop
pip install fluxloop

# Note: Use `python` instead of `python3`

Docker Installation​

Include FluxLoop in your Docker image:

FROM python:3.11-slim

WORKDIR /app

# Install FluxLoop
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir fluxloop

# Copy your agent code
COPY . .

CMD ["python", "my_agent.py"]

Configuration After Installation​

After installing, configure the SDK:

import fluxloop

# Basic configuration
fluxloop.configure(
    enabled=True,
    storage="file",
    base_path="./traces",
    debug=False
)

Or use environment variables:

# .env
FLUXLOOP_ENABLED=true
FLUXLOOP_STORAGE=file
FLUXLOOP_BASE_PATH=./traces
FLUXLOOP_DEBUG=false

Load with:

fluxloop.load_env(".env")

See Client Configuration for all options.
