I'm trying to deploy my agent on livekit cloud but I keep getting this 'package livekit-agents not found in any project files' but when I run this test.py file 'from livekit.agents import cli print("livekit-agents is installed")' I get 'livekit-agents is installed'. What could the problem be?

Thanks for reaching out, Isadru. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

my requirements.txt file has livekit-agents, for more info, here's my requirements.txt file 'aiofiles==24.1.0 aiohappyeyeballs==2.6.1 aiohttp==3.12.15 aiosignal==1.4.0 annotated-types==0.7.0 anyio==4.10.0 attrs==25.3.0 av==15.1.0 cachetools==5.5.2 certifi==2025.8.3 cffi==2.0.0 charset-normalizer==3.4.3 click==8.2.1 colorama==0.4.6 coloredlogs==15.0.1 distro==1.9.0 docstring_parser==0.17.0 eval_type_backport==0.2.2 filelock==3.19.1 flatbuffers==25.2.10 frozenlist==1.7.0 fsspec==2025.9.0 google-api-core==2.25.1 google-auth==2.40.3 google-cloud-speech==2.33.0 google-cloud-texttospeech==2.29.0 google-genai==1.36.0 googleapis-common-protos==1.70.0 grpcio==1.74.0 grpcio-status==1.74.0 h11==0.16.0 httpcore==1.0.9 httpx==0.28.1 huggingface-hub==0.34.4 humanfriendly==10.0 idna==3.10 importlib_metadata==8.7.0 Jinja2==3.1.6 jiter==0.10.0 livekit==1.0.12 livekit-agents==1.2.8 livekit-api==1.0.5 livekit-blingfire==1.0.0 livekit-plugins-cartesia==1.2.8 livekit-plugins-deepgram==1.2.8 livekit-plugins-google==1.2.8 livekit-plugins-noise-cancellation==0.2.5 livekit-plugins-openai==1.2.8 livekit-plugins-silero==1.2.8 livekit-plugins-turn-detector==1.2.8 livekit-protocol==1.0.6 MarkupSafe==3.0.2 mpmath==1.3.0 multidict==6.6.4 nest-asyncio==1.6.0 numpy==2.3.3 onnxruntime==1.22.1 openai==1.107.1 opentelemetry-api==1.36.0 opentelemetry-exporter-otlp==1.36.0 opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-common==1.36.0 opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc==1.36.0 opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http==1.36.0 opentelemetry-proto==1.36.0 opentelemetry-sdk==1.36.0 opentelemetry-semantic-conventions==0.57b0 packaging==24.2 pillow==11.3.0 pinecone==7.3.0 pinecone-plugin-assistant==1.8.0 pinecone-plugin-interface==0.0.7 prometheus_client==0.22.1 propcache==0.3.2 proto-plus==1.26.1 protobuf==6.32.0 psutil==7.0.0 pyasn1==0.6.1 pyasn1_modules==0.4.2 pycparser==2.23 pydantic==2.11.7 pydantic_core==2.33.2 PyJWT==2.10.1 pyreadline3==3.5.4 python-dateutil==2.9.0.post0 python-dotenv==1.1.1 PyYAML==6.0.2 regex==2025.9.1 requests==2.32.5 rsa==4.9.1 safetensors==0.6.2 six==1.17.0 sniffio==1.3.1 sounddevice==0.5.2 sympy==1.14.0 tenacity==9.1.2 tokenizers==0.22.0 tqdm==4.67.1 transformers==4.56.1 types-protobuf==6.30.2.20250822 typing-inspection==0.4.1 typing_extensions==4.15.0 urllib3==2.5.0 watchfiles==1.1.0 websockets==15.0.1 yarl==1.20.1 zipp==3.23.0'

Thank you so much for sharing your

requirements.txt

file! I understand how tricky it can be when the LiveKit CLI doesn’t detect

livekit-agents

, even though it’s listed in your dependencies. This usually happens if the installed version is below the minimum required SDK version. No worries though! To get this sorted, please make sure you have the latest version of

livekit-agents

installed. You can easily upgrade it by running:

pip install --upgrade livekit-agents

Once you’ve upgraded, try deploying your agent again. If you run into any more issues or have questions, I’m here to help—just let me know! Sources: pkg/agentfs/sdk_version_check.go

I still getting the same error even after running 'pip install --upgrade livekit-agents'

Could you please share the exact command you're using to deploy your agent? Also, just to make sure we're on the same page, is your

requirements.txt

file placed in the root directory of your project?

I'm using 'lk agent create --verbose'

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!
