The E2B Code Interpreter SDK brings the magic of code execution right into your AI applications! This guide will walk you through the essentials of setting up the SDK and troubleshooting common issues that might arise along the way.
Getting Started: Installation and Execution
To begin, you’ll need to install the SDK for your preferred programming language. Below are the steps to set up the E2B Code Interpreter SDK for both JavaScript and Python.
Step 1: Install SDK
- JavaScript / TypeScript:
npm i @e2b/code-interpreter - Python:
pip install e2b_code_interpreter
Step 2: Execute Code Inside the Sandbox
Now that you’ve installed the SDK, let’s execute some code! Here’s how to do it in both languages:
JavaScript Example
import CodeInterpreter from @e2b/code-interpreter;
const sandbox = await CodeInterpreter.create();
await sandbox.notebook.execCell(x = 1);
const execution = await sandbox.notebook.execCell(x += 1; x);
console.log(execution.text); // outputs 2
await sandbox.close();
Python Example
from e2b_code_interpreter import CodeInterpreter;
with CodeInterpreter() as sandbox:
sandbox.notebook.exec_cell(x = 1);
execution = sandbox.notebook.exec_cell(x += 1; x);
print(execution.text) # outputs 2

Understanding Code Execution with an Analogy
Imagine the E2B Sandbox as a solid, secure kitchen where a chef (your AI) can prepare dishes (execute code) using various ingredients (programming commands). The chef can try out new recipes and serve them to guests (your app users) without any risk of making a mess in the rest of the restaurant (other parts of your application). This way, any mistakes made in the kitchen do not spoil the dining experience for the guests, and the chef can experiment freely within a controlled environment.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
While utilizing the SDK, you may encounter some pitfalls. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure all dependencies are correctly installed. Double-check the package manager commands.
- If you run into runtime errors, verify your code syntax and logic. Use console logging to track variables.
- For sandbox-related issues, ensure you have the latest version of the SDK and that it is properly configured.
