How to install a system dependency to nemoeclaw?

[matheuslima]

Hi Team!
I am successfully running nemoclaw with hermes and a local inference server. However I want to use the manim-video skill which requires me to install some dependencies (pip manim, ffmpeg and latext). The right way to do this is by changing the Dockerfile.base for hermes and build the sandbox again?

Hi! At this time, this is a very experimental path, and not something we officially support.

Generally, as with anything hosted in the shell, build time is the best way to make sure skills are added and work.

We do have some new commands coming for managing skills as of v0.0.15 which should likely work for this as well:

nemoclaw <sandbox> skill install <path-to-skill-directory>

Let us know if that will work for you

Yeah actually updating the base docker image (Dockerfile.base for Hermes) worked for me.
