egisai is a regular Python package. Install it with pip (or your packaging tool of choice — Poetry, uv, Hatch all work the same way) into the same environment that runs your AI application.

​
Requirements

The SDK has minimal direct dependencies. Provider integrations are activated only if the matching SDK is importable at runtime, so you do not pay for what you don’t use.

​
Install with pip

The google extra installs google-genai. The google-legacy extra installs google-generativeai. Both are governed and can be installed together when an application uses both SDKs.
The core only install is appropriate when you intend to govern HTTP-level calls via httpx / requests and don’t use the official provider SDKs at all. See HTTP clients.
Using the inline Gateway with egisai.Client? Install the openai extra — pip install "egisai[openai]" — it provides the Gateway’s wire format. The Gateway routes to every supported provider from the model name, so no other provider SDK is needed.

Install in a virtual environment

​
Pinned versions

For reproducible builds, pin the SDK in your requirements.txt / pyproject.toml:
requirements.txt
Refer to the PyPI page for the latest released version.

​
Verify the install

You should see the installed version, for example 0.28.0.

​
Upgrade

The changelog describes user-facing changes per release.

​
Uninstall

Uninstalling removes the SDK; your provider SDKs and application code are unaffected. Any data already audited to your dashboard remains.
