Hello. is there any possible cmd command to download-files? instead of doing it from main.py

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

yea, the thing is that in the build context i dont have some variables i need to run the main.py

Could you please let me know which environment variables seem to be missing in your build context? Also, it would be helpful to understand if these variables are needed specifically for the

download-files

command or if they’re connected to other parts of your setup. I’m here to help you get this sorted out!

this variables are not need for the download-files. but they are for example the betterstack secret, i need for setup the logger

Hey there! Just to clarify, the

download-files

command in LiveKit doesn’t actually need any unrelated environment variables, like BetterStack secrets for logging. It’s built to work on its own and simply downloads the plugin dependency files, such as ML models. You can go ahead and run the command directly without worrying about setting those variables. For example:

python agent.py download-files

If you’re using Docker, a handy tip is to include this command in your build process to pre-download the necessary files. This way, your runtime startup will be nice and smooth.

and if i use python -W ignore::RuntimeWarning -m livekit.agents.cli.cli download-files?

Absolutely! The command

python -W ignore::RuntimeWarning -m livekit.agents.cli.cli download-files

is indeed valid and a great way to download files in LiveKit. It essentially runs the CLI module directly, just like using the

download-files

command from your agent script. The

-W ignore::RuntimeWarning

flag simply hides warnings so they don’t interrupt your workflow, and it won’t affect how the command works. Just make sure that the

livekit-agents

package is installed and available in your Python environment, and you should be all set. If you have any more questions or need a hand with anything else, feel free to ask—I’m here to help!
