LiveKit Integration Installation

Integrate NextEVI with LiveKit Agents to create powerful real-time voice applications that work seamlessly with LiveKit’s ecosystem and playground.

​
Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9 or higher
  • NextEVI API account with API key, config ID, and project ID
  • LiveKit account with API credentials

​
Installation

Install the NextEVI LiveKit plugin: 
pip install livekit-plugins-nextevi
This will automatically install:
  • livekit-agents (>=1.2.8)
  • Required NextEVI dependencies
  • Audio processing libraries

​
Environment Setup

Set up your environment variables for both NextEVI and LiveKit: 
# NextEVI Configuration
export NEXTEVI_API_KEY="your_nextevi_api_key"
export NEXTEVI_CONFIG_ID="your_config_id"
export NEXTEVI_PROJECT_ID="your_project_id"

# LiveKit Configuration
export LIVEKIT_URL="wss://your-livekit-instance.livekit.cloud"
export LIVEKIT_API_KEY="your_livekit_api_key"
export LIVEKIT_API_SECRET="your_livekit_api_secret"
You can get your NextEVI credentials from your NextEVI dashboard and LiveKit credentials from your LiveKit console.

​
Verify Installation

Create a simple test to verify everything is working: 
from livekit_nextevi import NextEVIRealtimeModel
from livekit_nextevi.nextevi_stt import NextEVISTT

# Test imports
print("✅ NextEVI LiveKit plugin installed successfully!")

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure you have Python 3.9+ and run:
pip install --upgrade livekit-plugins-nextevi
LiveKit requires specific audio formats. The plugin handles this automatically, but ensure your system has audio drivers installed.
Verify your environment variables are set correctly:
echo $NEXTEVI_API_KEY
echo $LIVEKIT_URL
