## Summary - Updated root README, js-sdk README, and python-sdk README to show base `e2b` SDK install and usage as the default - Code-interpreter is now shown as an optional step for when `runCode()`/`run_code()` is actually needed - SDK links in descriptions now point to base `e2b` packages on npm/PyPI ## Why The base `e2b` package covers commands, files, git, networking, and sandbox lifecycle. Users who don't need code execution shouldn't be directed to install `@e2b/code-interpreter` / `e2b-code-interpreter` as their first step. ## Test plan - [ ] Verify README renders correctly on GitHub - [ ] Confirm base SDK examples use correct import syntax - [ ] Confirm code-interpreter section still shows correct usage for `runCode()`
What is E2B?
E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.
Run your first Sandbox
1. Install SDK
npm i e2b
2. Get your E2B API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
3. Start a sandbox and run commands
import Sandbox from 'e2b'
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!
4. Code execution with Code Interpreter
If you need runCode(), install the Code Interpreter SDK:
npm i @e2b/code-interpreter
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const execution = await sandbox.runCode('x = 1; x += 1; x')
console.log(execution.text) // outputs 2
