| description | Set up environment for local newsletter events plugin. Use when first installing, updating dependencies, or verifying configuration. |
<essential_principles>
Environment Requirements
This plugin requires two runtimes:
Python 3.12+ with uv for:
- Instagram scraping (ScrapeCreators API)
- Event deduplication (rapidfuzz)
- Newsletter generation (Jinja2)
- Config validation (Pydantic)
Node.js 18+ with bun for:
- Facebook event scraping (facebook-event-scraper npm)
Why Two Runtimes?
The facebook-event-scraper library is JavaScript-only with no Python equivalent. Rather than reimplement it, we use a subprocess bridge with strict JSON contracts.
Package Managers
- uv: Fast Python package manager with lockfile support
- bun: Fast JavaScript runtime and package manager
Both ensure reproducible environments via lockfiles (uv.lock, bun.lockb).
