Installing Memory

First, we need to install the Mastra memory package to add memory capabilities to our agent. We also install a storage adapter to persist the memory data. We will use the libsql storage adapter. Run the following command in your terminal:

npm install @mastra/memory @mastra/libsql

The @mastra/memory package provides a simple yet powerful memory system for your Mastra agents. It allows your agent to remember previous conversations and maintain context across multiple interactions.

The @mastra/libsql package is one of many storage adapters that persists the memory data to an SQLite database.

These packages are separate from the core Mastra package to keep the framework modular and allow you to only include the features you need in your project.
