# First Run Transcript

This is the intended evaluator path for a first successful run on a supported host.
Copy the commands as-is. Paths and timing values will differ on your machine.
The same sequence works with an installed `pyro` binary by dropping the
`uvx --from pyro-mcp` prefix. If you are running from a source checkout instead
of the published package, replace `pyro` with `uv run pyro`.

## 1. Verify the host

```bash
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro doctor
Platform: linux-x86_64
Runtime: PASS
KVM: exists=yes readable=yes writable=yes
Environment cache: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments
Capabilities: vm_boot=yes guest_exec=yes guest_network=yes
Networking: tun=yes ip_forward=yes
```

## 2. Inspect the catalog

```bash
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro env list
Catalog version: 2.0.0
debian:12 [installed|not installed] Debian 12 environment with Git preinstalled for common agent workflows.
debian:12-base [installed|not installed] Minimal Debian 12 environment for shell and core Unix tooling.
debian:12-build [installed|not installed] Debian 12 environment with Git and common build tools preinstalled.
```

## 3. Pull the default environment

The first pull downloads an OCI environment from public Docker Hub, requires outbound HTTPS
access to `registry-1.docker.io`, and needs local cache space for the guest image. See
[host-requirements.md](host-requirements.md) for the full host requirements.

```bash
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro env pull debian:12
[pull] phase=install environment=debian:12
[pull] phase=ready environment=debian:12
Pulled: debian:12
Version: 1.0.0
Distribution: debian 12
Installed: yes
Cache dir: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments
Default packages: bash, coreutils, git
Install dir: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0
Install manifest: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0/environment.json
Kernel image: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0/vmlinux
Rootfs image: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0/rootfs.ext4
OCI source: registry-1.docker.io/thalesmaciel/pyro-environment-debian-12:1.0.0
```

## 4. Run one command in a guest

```bash
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro run debian:12 -- git --version
[run] phase=create environment=debian:12
[run] phase=start vm_id=...
[run] phase=execute vm_id=...
[run] environment=debian:12 execution_mode=guest_vsock exit_code=0 duration_ms=...
git version ...
```

The guest command output and the `[run] ...` summary are written to different streams, so they
may appear in either order in terminals or capture tools. Use `--json` if you need a
deterministic structured result.

## 5. Optional next steps

```bash
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro demo
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro mcp serve
```

`pyro demo` proves the one-shot create/start/exec/delete VM lifecycle works end to end.

Example output:

```json
{
  "cleanup": {
    "deleted": true,
    "reason": "post_exec_cleanup",
    "vm_id": "..."
  },
  "command": "git --version",
  "environment": "debian:12",
  "execution_mode": "guest_vsock",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "stdout": "git version ...\n"
}
```

When you are done evaluating and want to remove stale cached environments, run `pyro env prune`.

If `pyro doctor` reports `Runtime: FAIL`, or if the `pyro run` summary does not show
`execution_mode=guest_vsock`, stop and use [troubleshooting.md](troubleshooting.md).
