Installation

This guide will walk you through the process of installing the Factifai Agent Suite and its dependencies.

Prerequisites

Before installing the Factifai Agent Suite, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• Node.js 18+ - The runtime environment for JavaScript
• pnpm 10.11.0+ - The package manager used by Factifai Agent Suite
• OpenAI API key or AWS Bedrock credentials - Required for the AI capabilities

Installing Factifai Agent

The Factifai Agent is the main CLI tool that you'll use to run tests. You can install it globally using npm:

# Install factifai-agent globally
npm install -g @presidio-dev/factifai-agent

Installing Playwright Dependencies

Factifai Agent uses Playwright under the hood for browser automation. You'll need to install Playwright globally first, then install the browser dependencies:

# Install Playwright globally (required)
npm install -g playwright

# Install Playwright dependencies (required)
npx playwright install --with-deps

This process installs browser binaries for Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, along with any necessary system dependencies.

Installing Playwright Core (Optional)

If you want to use the Playwright Core package separately, you can install it using npm:

# Install playwright-core
npm install @presidio-dev/playwright-core

Configuring API Keys

OpenAI

To use Factifai Agent with OpenAI models, you need to configure your API key:

# Configure OpenAI API key (only needed once)
factifai-agent config --set OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

AWS Bedrock

To use Factifai Agent with AWS Bedrock models, you need to configure your AWS credentials:

# Configure AWS credentials (only needed once)
factifai-agent config --set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key-id
factifai-agent config --set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-access-key
factifai-agent config --set AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-west-2

Configuring Secrets

In addition to API keys, you may want to store other sensitive information like test account credentials or API tokens that will be used during testing. Factifai Agent provides a dedicated secret management system for this purpose:

# Store a test account username
factifai-agent secret --set TEST_USERNAME=test_user@example.com

# Store a test account password
factifai-agent secret --set TEST_PASSWORD=secure_password123

# Store an API token for testing
factifai-agent secret --set TEST_API_TOKEN=your-api-token-here

These secrets are stored separately from configuration in ~/.factifai/secret.json and are automatically loaded as environment variables during test execution.

To view all stored secrets (with values masked):

factifai-agent secret --list

To delete a secret when it's no longer needed:

factifai-agent secret --delete TEST_PASSWORD

Development Setup

If you want to contribute to the Factifai Agent Suite or run it from source, follow these steps:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/presidio-oss/factifai-agent-suite.git
cd factifai-agent-suite

# Install dependencies
pnpm i

# Build all packages
pnpm -r build

# Install Playwright dependencies (required)
npx playwright install --with-deps

# Create a global symlink for factifai-agent
cd packages/factifai-agent
pnpm link --global

Verifying Installation

To verify that the installation was successful, run:

factifai-agent --version

This should display the version of the Factifai Agent that you have installed.

Next Steps

Now that you have installed the Factifai Agent Suite, you can proceed to the Quick Start Guide to run your first test.
