## Environment Requirements
This plugin requires two runtimes:
Python 3.12+ with uv for:
- Instagram scraping (ScrapeCreators API)
- Event deduplication (rapidfuzz)
- Newsletter generation (Jinja2)
- Config validation (Pydantic)
Node.js 18+ with bun for:
- Facebook event scraping (facebook-event-scraper npm)
Why Two Runtimes?
The facebook-event-scraper library is JavaScript-only with no Python equivalent. Rather than reimplement it, we use a subprocess bridge with strict JSON contracts.
Package Managers
- uv: Fast Python package manager with lockfile support
- bun: Fast JavaScript runtime and package manager
Both ensure reproducible environments via lockfiles (uv.lock, bun.lockb).
What do you need help with?
- Full setup - Install all dependencies from scratch
- Check environment - Verify everything is configured correctly
- Update dependencies - Update to latest compatible versions
- Troubleshoot - Debug environment issues
Wait for response before proceeding.
| Response | Workflow |
|----------|----------|
| 1, "setup", "install", "fresh" | `workflows/setup-environment.md` |
| 2, "check", "verify", "status" | Run verification checks inline |
| 3, "update", "upgrade" | Run `uv sync --upgrade` and `bun update` |
| 4, "troubleshoot", "debug", "help" | Diagnose common issues |
Environment is ready when:
- [ ] `uv --version` returns 0.4.0+
- [ ] `bun --version` returns 1.0.0+
- [ ] `uv run python -c "import rapidfuzz"` succeeds
- [ ] `bun run scripts/scrape_facebook.js --help` succeeds
- [ ] `.env` file exists with `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY` set
- [ ] `config/sources.yaml` exists and validates
