AskUI Agent OS

Platform-specific binaries for the AskUI Remote Device Controller, shipped as a Python package. Use it with the AskUI Python SDK when you need local device control—see the Setup Guide in the official docs.

Requirements

• Python: 3.8+
• Platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS
• Windows only: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (minimum version 14.34.31938). The package checks this automatically when you use the API.

Installation

pip install askui-agent-os

Usage

Command line

Get the path to the Remote Device Controller binary:

askui-agent-os get-binary-path

Python API

The package exposes a single class, AgentOS, with static methods. On import, AgentOS.setup() runs and makes the controller binary executable (no-op on Windows). Prerequisites (e.g. Windows VC++ runtime) are checked when you call bin_path() or controller_path().

from askui_agent_os import AgentOS

# Directory containing platform binaries
bin_dir = AgentOS.bin_path()

# Full path to the controller executable (use this with the AskUI SDK)
path = AgentOS.controller_path()

# Optional: require Windows VC++ runtime (raises RuntimeError if missing on Windows)
AgentOS.require_vc_redistributable()

Method	Description
AgentOS.bin_path()	Path to the package bin directory.
AgentOS.controller_path()	Full path to the controller executable.
AgentOS.require_vc_redistributable()	No-op on non-Windows; on Windows, raises if the required VC++ runtime is missing.

CI/CD and automated pipelines

This package is for local and desktop use only. It is not suitable for use in CI/CD or other headless/automated pipelines. For CI/CD you need the dedicated AskUI service. To request access, contact [e-mail].
