+# DARE Framework
+
+`deterministic-agent-runtime-engine` 是当前仓库的发行包名，安装后在 Python 代码里使用的导入名是 `dare_framework`。
+
+除非特别说明，下面的命令都默认在仓库根目录、且已激活目标 Python 虚拟环境后执行。
+
+## 本地安装
+
+### 方式 1：可编辑安装（联调推荐）
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+如果你只想安装入口而暂时跳过依赖解析：
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -e . --no-deps
+```
+
+### 方式 2：先打本地 wheel，再安装（冻结版本推荐）
+
+```bash
+python -m pip wheel . -w dist --no-deps
+python -m pip install dist/deterministic_agent_runtime_engine-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
+```
+
+## 在另一个项目里引用当前仓库
+
+如果下游项目和当前仓库在同一台机器上，不需要发布到公共镜像仓库。
+
+### 直接从源码路径安装
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -e /abs/path/to/Deterministic-Agent-Runtime-Engine
+```
+
+如果两个项目是同级目录，也可以用相对路径：
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -e ../Deterministic-Agent-Runtime-Engine
+```
+
+### 从本地 wheel 安装
+
+先在当前仓库构建 wheel：
+
+```bash
+python -m pip wheel . -w dist --no-deps
+```
+
+再在下游项目环境里安装：
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install /abs/path/to/Deterministic-Agent-Runtime-Engine/dist/deterministic_agent_runtime_engine-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
+```
+
+## 导入方式
+
+安装成功后，下游项目直接导入 `dare_framework`：
+
+```python
+from dare_framework.agent import BaseAgent
+from dare_framework.model import OpenAIModelAdapter
+```
+
+如果下游项目可以接受修改 import，推荐直接迁到 `dare_framework.*`，不要额外做 `agentscope` 兼容包。

 统一对外 CLI 入口，面向 `dare_framework` 的任务执行与运行时控制。
 
+除非特别说明，以下命令默认在仓库根目录、且已激活目标 Python 虚拟环境后执行。若你使用显式虚拟环境路径，可将 `python` 替换为 `<venv>/bin/python`。
+
 ## 运行方式
 
 ```bash
 # 仓库根目录
-.venv/bin/python -m client --help
+python -m client --help
 
 # 可编辑安装后使用 console script
-.venv/bin/pip install -e .
-.venv/bin/dare --help
+python -m pip install -e .
+dare --help
 ```
 
 如果是在离线或受限网络环境，可跳过依赖安装，仅安装 CLI 入口：
 
 ```bash
-.venv/bin/pip install -e . --no-deps
+python -m pip install -e . --no-deps
 ```
