## 🏁 Getting Started
### Step 1: Install Required Packages
```bash
pip install strands-agents
pip install strands-agents-tools
```
### Step 2: Setup Model Provider
Follow the instructions [here](https://strandsagents.com/latest/user-guide/quickstart/#model-providers) to configure your model provider and model access.
### Step 3: Build Your First Strands Agent
```python
from strands import Agent, tool
from strands_tools import calculator, current_time, python_repl
@tool
def letter_counter(word: str, letter: str) -> int:
"""
Count the occurrences of a specific letter in a word.
"""
if not isinstance(word, str) or not isinstance(letter, str):
return 0
if len(letter) != 1:
raise ValueError("The 'letter' parameter must be a single character")
return word.lower().count(letter.lower())
agent = Agent(tools=[calculator, current_time, python_repl, letter_counter])
message = """
I have 4 requests:
1. What is the time right now?
2. Calculate 3111696 / 74088
3. Tell me how many letter R's are in the word "strawberry" 🍓
4. Output a script that does what we just spoke about!
Use your python tools to confirm that the script works before outputting it
"""
agent(message)
```
### Step 4: Getting Started with the SDK
Start with the [01-tutorials](./01-tutorials/) directory.
Create your [first agent](./01-tutorials/01-fundamentals/01-first-agent/) and explore notebook-based examples covering core functionalities.
### Step 5: Explore More Samples
