# Performance on Agent Instantiation

> Example showing how to analyze the runtime and memory usage of an Agent.

**1. Create a Python file**

```python performance_agent_instantiation.py theme={null}
"""Run `uv pip install agno openai` to install dependencies."""

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.eval.performance import PerformanceEval


def instantiate_agent():
    return Agent(system_message="Be concise, reply with one sentence.")


instantiation_perf = PerformanceEval(
    name="Instantiation Performance", func=instantiate_agent, num_iterations=1000
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    instantiation_perf.run(print_results=True, print_summary=True)
```

<Snippet file="create-venv-step.mdx" />

**2. Install dependencies**

```bash theme={null}
uv pip install -U openai agno
```

**3. Export your OpenAI API key**

```bash Mac/Linux theme={null}
  export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
```

```bash Windows theme={null}
  $Env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
```

**4. Run Agent**

```bash theme={null}
python performance_agent_instantiation.py
```
