Installation

Prerequisites

Node.js or Python backend service (using Python 3.12+) where the SDK will be installed
All packages used are present in our list of instrumentations
- Node SDK
- Python SDK
Dev/staging environment for initial rollout (recommended)

curl -fsSL https://cli.usetusk.ai/install.sh | sh

Download the latest release from GitHub Releases:

Download tusk-drift-cli_*_Windows_x86_64.zip
Extract the ZIP file
Move tusk.exe to a directory in your PATH, or add the extracted directory to your PATH

If you would like to avoid setting up Tusk Drift manually, consider using our Setup Agent to automatically perform the next 2 steps in this guide.

Run tusk init in CLI to create your .tusk/config.yaml in the root of your service:

cd <path/to/your/service>
tusk init

“Service” here usually refers to where your package.json lives.

You can also manually create the .tusk directory and config file if you’d prefer. See the configuration doc for details.

npm install @use-tusk/drift-node-sdk

yarn install @use-tusk/drift-node-sdk

pip install tusk-drift-python-sdk
