# Get Started with Agent Framework for Python
This folder contains a progressive set of samples that introduce the core
concepts of **Agent Framework** one step at a time.
## Prerequisites
```bash
pip install agent-framework-foundry
```
Sample 08 additionally requires `agent-framework-azurefunctions --pre`.
Set the required environment variables:
```bash
export FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-project-endpoint"
export FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o" # optional, defaults to gpt-4o
```
