## 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
pip install e2b
2. Get your E2B API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
3. Start a sandbox and run commands
from e2b import Sandbox
with Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
result = sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
print(result.stdout) # Hello from E2B!
4. Code execution with Code Interpreter
If you need run_code(), install the Code Interpreter SDK:
pip install e2b-code-interpreter
from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox
with Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
execution = sandbox.run_code("x = 1; x += 1; x")
print(execution.text) # outputs 2
