## Install

TypeScript / JavaScript:

```bash
npm install @ax-llm/ax
```

The generated Python, Java, C++, Go, and Rust libraries are checked in under `packages/`,
verified in this repo, and installable from each language's package manager (all Apache-2.0):

- **Python**: `pip install axllm` (realtime audio: `pip install axllm[realtime]`)
- **Rust**: `cargo add axllm` (realtime audio: `cargo add axllm --features realtime`)
- **Go**: `go get github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go` (realtime audio needs Go 1.23+ and pulls `github.com/coder/websocket` automatically)
- **Java**: `dev.axllm:ax` on Maven Central (Gradle / Maven snippet in [`packages/java`](packages/java/README.md)); realtime audio uses the JDK's built-in WebSocket — no extra dependency
- **C++**: CMake `FetchContent` (`GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ax-llm/ax`,
  `SOURCE_SUBDIR packages/cpp`), then link `axllm::axllm` (realtime audio: build with `-DAXLLM_ENABLE_REALTIME=ON`)

Optional packages:

```bash
npm install @ax-llm/ax-ai-aws-bedrock     # AWS Bedrock provider
npm install @ax-llm/ax-ai-sdk-provider    # Vercel AI SDK v7 integration
npm install @ax-llm/ax-tools              # MCP stdio transport, JS runtime extras
```
