Clone the plugin runtime source code:
Since LangBot depends on entities defined in langbot-plugin-sdk, we recommend opening VS Code in a new directory, placing both LangBot and langbot-plugin-sdk (git clone https://github.com/langbot-app/langbot-plugin-sdk) as subdirectories within it. The directory structure should look like:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/langbot-app/langbot-plugin-sdk
langbot-projects
├── LangBot
├── langbot-plugin-sdk
```
Enter the plugin runtime directory and install dependencies:
Enter the LangBot directory and install dependencies:
```bash
cd langbot-plugin-sdk
cd LangBot
uv sync --dev
```
At this point, uv will automatically create a virtual environment (.venv) for you. If your editor asks whether to use this virtual environment, please select `Yes`.

If the prompt does not appear, please manually set the Python interpreter path to the interpreter in the venv from the bottom-right corner.
Then open the terminal at the bottom of VS Code, which will automatically activate the venv.
Or you can manually activate this virtual environment:
```bash
# Please modify the command according to your .venv path
source .venv/bin/activate
```
## Start Plugin Runtime
```bash
lbp rt
uv run --no-sync lbp rt
```
Please ensure that the `lbp` command is the `lbp` executable in the virtual environment of this directory, or start it via `python -m langbot_plugin.cli.__init__ rt`.

- `-s`: Use `stdio` to accept control connections. **Use only in production environment**.
- `--skip-deps-check`: To ensure that all plugin dependencies are installed, the Runtime will check and install all installed plugin dependencies on every startup. Use this parameter to disable this check.
### Make LangBot Use Your Locally Modified langbot-plugin-sdk
If you have modified things like message entities or plugin data definitions, you need to update them in the LangBot environment to ensure data format compatibility during runtime.
In a **terminal with the LangBot directory's virtual environment (.venv) activated**, switch to the langbot-plugin-sdk directory and run:
```bash
uv pip install .
```
This will install your modified langbot-plugin-sdk into LangBot's environment.

And add the startup parameter `--standalone-runtime` when starting the LangBot main program (e.g., `uv run --no-sync main.py --standalone-runtime`). Make sure to include the `--no-sync` parameter in this command, which ensures that the local langbot-plugin-sdk you just synced will not be overwritten by the remote version.\
Restart LangBot, and it will connect to this runtime using WebSocket.
