Check if the Anakin CLI is installed and authenticated. Fix any issues found.
Run:
anakin status
If the command is not found, install it:
pip install anakin-cli
If pip is not available, try pip3 install anakin-cli or python -m pip install anakin-cli.
After installing, verify with anakin status.
If anakin status shows "No API key configured", ask the user how they'd like to authenticate using AskUserQuestion:
Question: "How would you like to authenticate with Anakin?"
Options:
Ask for their API key, then run:
anakin login --api-key "<their-key>"
Ask for their API key, then run:
export ANAKIN_API_KEY="<their-key>"
Tell them to add this export to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc for persistence.
Run anakin status again to confirm everything works. Report the version and auth status to the user.
Create the .anakin/ output directory and ensure it's in .gitignore:
mkdir -p .anakin
If a .gitignore file exists and doesn't already contain .anakin/, add it:
echo ".anakin/" >> .gitignore
python -m anakin_cli statuspip install anakin-clipip install --user anakin-cli
# or
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install anakin-cli
