Agent Lexicon installation

Agent Lexicon requires Python 3.10 or newer. The deterministic core has no runtime dependencies.

Section titled “Recommended: install the CLI with pipx”
Terminal window
pipx install agent-lexicon

Both command names are available:

Terminal window
agent-lexicon --help
alex --help

Use alex throughout these docs as the shorter alias.

Install with shell completion

Section titled “Install with shell completion”
Terminal window
pipx install "agent-lexicon[completion]"
activate-global-python-argcomplete

Completion is optional. The CLI works without it.

Install as a Python dependency

Section titled “Install as a Python dependency”
Terminal window
python -m pip install agent-lexicon

Optional analysis extras remain opt-in:

Terminal window
python -m pip install "agent-lexicon[oov]"
python -m pip install "agent-lexicon[semantic]"

The optional semantic path may improve reviewer suggestions. It does not decide whether a term is accepted or whether deterministic checks pass.

Verify the installation

Section titled “Verify the installation”
Terminal window
alex --version
alex --help

Then continue to the Agent Lexicon quickstart.
