Question 1

What are the system requirements for Humanbound?

Accepted Answer

Humanbound requires Python 3.10 or higher, an LLM provider API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, or others) or Ollama for full local isolation, and an AI agent endpoint to test against.

Question 2

How do I install Humanbound with local engine support?

Accepted Answer

Run pip install "humanbound[engine]" to include the local testing engine with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google SDK support. The base pip install humanbound installs the CLI without the local engine extras.

Question 3

What optional extras can I install with Humanbound?

Accepted Answer

Three extras are available: engine adds the local testing engine, firewall adds firewall training with scikit-learn and torch, and mcp adds an MCP server for AI coding assistants.

Question 4

Do I need an API key to run tests?

Accepted Answer

You need an LLM provider API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, or others) for cloud-based testing, but you can use Ollama with no API key for full local isolation.

Question 5

How do I verify my Humanbound installation?

Accepted Answer

Run hb --version to confirm the CLI is installed and hb --help to see all available commands.
