Getting Started with ARIA¶

This guide will help you get started with ARIA quickly and efficiently.

Installation¶

python -m pip install --user aria-framework

Local Development Installation¶

If you're working on ARIA itself or want to install from a local copy:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/antenore/ARIA.git
cd ARIA

# Install in development mode
python -m pip install --user -e .

Note: After installation, the ariacli command might not be available in your PATH. You can either: 1. Add the Python Scripts directory to your PATH (typically %APPDATA%\Python\Python3xx\Scripts on Windows) 2. Use the full path to the executable: %APPDATA%\Python\Python3xx\Scripts\ariacli.exe 3. Create an alias in your shell profile

Basic Usage¶

1. Initialize a new policy:

   ariacli init -m assistant -o policy.yml
   

2. Apply a template:

   ariacli template apply chat_assistant -o policy.yml
   

3. Validate your policy:

   ariacli policy validate policy.yml
   

Next Steps¶

• Learn about policy inheritance
• Explore templates
• Check out the CLI reference

Common Issues¶

• Permission errors
• Template compatibility
• Policy validation failures

Best Practices¶

1. Always validate policies
2. Use version control
3. Document policy changes
4. Test before deployment
