Installation & Extras

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+ (3.11 or 3.12)
• pip (or uv for faster installs)
• Docker (required only for dockrion build)

Install Dockrion

Base Installation

pip install dockrion

This installs the CLI, SDK, schema validation, and all core dependencies:

• typer — CLI framework
• rich — terminal formatting
• pyyaml — YAML parsing
• requests — HTTP client
• jinja2 — template rendering
• pydantic — schema validation

Optional Extras

Extra	Install command	What it adds
langgraph	pip install dockrion[langgraph]	LangGraph + LangChain Core
langchain	pip install dockrion[langchain]	LangChain + LangChain Core
runtime	pip install dockrion[runtime]	FastAPI, uvicorn, prometheus-client
jwt	pip install dockrion[jwt]	PyJWT with crypto support
all	pip install dockrion[all]	Everything above

Recommended for Most Users

pip install dockrion[all]

This gives you LangGraph support, the full runtime, and JWT authentication.

What Each Extra Includes

Extra	Packages
langgraph	langgraph>=0.0.20, langchain-core>=0.1.0
langchain	langchain>=0.1.0, langchain-core>=0.1.0
runtime	fastapi>=0.109.0, uvicorn[standard]>=0.27.0, prometheus-client>=0.20

Verify Your Installation

Check the Version

dockrion version

Expected output:

Dockrion CLI v0.1.0
SDK v0.1.0
Python 3.11.x

Run the Doctor

dockrion doctor

• Schema validation
• Package imports (dockrion_adapters, dockrion_common, dockrion_schema, dockrion_sdk)

Show Available Commands

dockrion --help

Development Setup (Contributors)

For contributing to Dockrion itself:

git clone https://github.com/paritosh0707/Dockrion.git
cd Dockrion

If you have uv:

uv pip install -e packages/common-py
uv pip install -e packages/schema
uv pip install -e packages/adapters
uv pip install -e packages/events
uv pip install -e packages/policy-engine
uv pip install -e packages/telemetry
uv pip install -e packages/runtime
uv pip install -e packages/sdk-python
uv pip install -e packages/cli

Or with pip:

pip install -e packages/common-py
pip install -e packages/schema
# ... same for each package

Install order matters — common-py and schema must be installed before packages that depend on them.
