Build an AEA with the CLI¶
Building an AEA step by step (ensure you have followed the Preliminaries and Installation sections from the AEA quick start first):
- Set up your AEA project with the CLI:
aea create my_aea && cd my_aea
- Look at, then add the right connections for your use case:
aea search connections
, thenaea add connection [public_id]
- Look for, then add or generate the protocols you require:
aea search protocols
, thenaea add protocol [public_id]
oraea generate protocol [path_to_specification]
- Look for, then add or code the skills you need:
aea search skills
, thenaea add skill [public_id]
. This guide shows you step by step how to develop a skill. - Where required, scaffold any of the above resources with the scaffolding tool or generate a protocol with the protocol generator.
- Now, run your AEA:
aea run --connections [public_id]
