Quickstart: Hello World

EOS SDK Quick Start: a Hello World Agent

Introduction

This tutorial will walk you through building, installing, and running your first EOS SDK agent. By the end of this page, you will have created an agent that will say 'Hello' to a name configured via the CLI, and thereby redefining the term "Social Networking." This program, although simple, demonstrates the lifecycle of an agent along with various components of the SDK. We'll first walk you through creating the agent executable, then explain how to run your agent, and, finally, a walkthrough of the EOS SDK code.

The complete code for the agent can be found in the examples directory, at [HelloWorld.cpp] for the C++ version of the agent, and [HelloWorld.py] for the Python implementation.

Getting started
