## Prerequisites for running a chat agent app


Before you can run an app that you have exported, you must first do the following:

**To prepare for running an app**

1. Download and install Node.js. For more information, see [Download Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager).

1. At the command prompt, install third-party Node.js libraries by running the following commands:

   ```
   npm install minimist
   npm install aws-sdk
   npm install @aws-sdk/credential-providers
   npm install @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-agent-runtime
   npm install @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-runtime
   ```

   For a flow app you also need the following

   ```
   npm install @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-agent
   ```

1. Create or update an IAM role in which you want to run the app. For the policy, use the policy created by `deployApp.sh` when you exported the app. The policy name is `BRStudioExportedAppInvocationRolePolicy-exportProjectId`. The policy is declared in invocation-policy-\$1.json. For more information, see [Creating roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create.html).

## Run the app


To run your app, you need an IAM role with with permissions to invoke Amazon Bedrock resources. When you deploy the app, the CloudFormation stack deployed through `deployApp.sh` script provisions a suitable policy in your AWS account (declared in `invocation-policy-*.json`).

**To run the app**

1. Switch to the IAM role that you created in step 3 of [Prerequisites for running a chat agent app](#app-run-app-prerequisites).

1. Run the app by entering the command you noted in step 3 of [Deploy the exported app](app-deploy-app.md#app-deploy-app-deploy).
