## 📋 Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Linux / macOS
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.10 or later
|
|
- Poetry ([instructions](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation))
|
|
|
|
### Windows (WSL)
|
|
|
|
- WSL 2
|
|
- See also the [requirements for Linux](#linux--macos)
|
|
- [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/)
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
!!! attention
|
|
We recommend setting up AutoGPT with WSL. Some things don't work exactly the same on
|
|
Windows and we currently can't provide specialized instructions for all those cases.
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.10 or later ([instructions](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-install-python-in-windows))
|
|
- Poetry ([instructions](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation))
|
|
- [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/)

### 🗝️ Getting an OpenAI API key
|
|
|
|
Get your OpenAI API key from:
|
|
[https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys).
|
|
|
|
!!! attention
|
|
To use the OpenAI API with AutoGPT, we strongly recommend **setting up billing**
|
|
(AKA paid account). Free accounts are [limited][openai/api limits] to 3 API calls per
|
|
minute, which can cause the application to crash.
|
|
|
|
You can set up a paid account at [Manage account > Billing > Overview](https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview).
|
|
|
|
[openai/api limits]: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/free-tier-rate-limits
|
|
|
|
!!! important
|
|
It's highly recommended that you keep track of your API costs on [the Usage page](https://platform.openai.com/account/usage).
|
|
You can also set limits on how much you spend on [the Usage limits page](https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/limits).
|
|

|
## Setting up AutoGPT
|
|
|
|
### Getting AutoGPT
|
|
|
|
Since we don't ship AutoGPT as a desktop application, you'll need to download the
|
|
[project] from GitHub and give it a place on your computer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* To get the latest bleeding edge version, use `master`.
|
|
* If you're looking for more stability, check out the latest AutoGPT [release][releases].
|
|
|
|
[project]: https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT
|
|
[releases]: https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/releases
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
These instructions don't apply if you're looking to run AutoGPT as a docker image.
|
|
Instead, check out the [Docker setup](./docker.md) guide.
|
|
|
|
### Completing the Setup
|
|
|
|
Once you have cloned or downloaded the project, you can find the AutoGPT Agent in the
|
|
`autogpts/autogpt/` folder. In this folder:
|
|
|
|
1. Find the file named `.env.template`. This file may
|
|
be hidden by default in some operating systems due to the dot prefix. To reveal
|
|
hidden files, follow the instructions for your specific operating system:
|
|
[Windows][show hidden files/Windows] and [macOS][show hidden files/macOS].
|
|
2. Create a copy of `.env.template` and call it `.env`;
|
|
if you're already in a command prompt/terminal window:
|
|
```shell
|
|
cp .env.template .env
|
|
```
|
|
3. Open the `.env` file in a text editor.
|
|
4. Find the line that says `OPENAI_API_KEY=`.
|
|
5. Insert your OpenAI API Key directly after = without quotes or spaces..
|
|
```yaml
|
|
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-qwertykeys123456
|
|
```
|
|
6. Enter any other API keys or tokens for services you would like to use.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
To activate and adjust a setting, remove the `# ` prefix.
|
|
|
|
7. Save and close the `.env` file.
|
|
8. _Optional: run `poetry install` to install all required dependencies._ The
|
|
application also checks for and installs any required dependencies when it starts.
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to explore the CLI (`./run.sh --help`) and run the application.
|
|
|
|
See the [user guide](../usage.md) for further instructions.
