Installation

Install Draive into a dedicated Python 3.12+ environment so your project dependencies remain isolated. We recommend uv for deterministic installs, but standard pip works as well.

Using pip

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "draive"

Add provider extras to pull in the SDKs you need:

pip install "draive[openai]"
pip install "draive[anthropic]"
pip install "draive[gemini]"

Combine extras for multi-provider projects:

pip install "draive[openai,anthropic,gemini]"

Using uv

uv venv
uv pip install "draive[openai,anthropic,gemini]"

To sync an existing project with the pinned dependencies from pyproject.toml:

uv sync --all-groups --all-extras --frozen

Optional extras

• draive[ollama] for local Ollama deployments.
• draive[cohere] or draive[cohere_bedrock] for Cohere hosted or AWS Bedrock access.
• draive[postgres] when you need the PostgreSQL resource backend.
• draive[docs] to render documentation locally with MkDocs.

Verify your environment

python -c "import draive; print(draive.__version__)"

You are ready to jump into the quickstart once the version prints without errors.
