You will also need to set up your OPEN api key.

  1. cd into /autogpts/autogpt
  2. run
cp .env.template .env
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will create a .env where it needs to be, uncomment the line that says: OPENAI_API_KEY and add your api key here.

Before running any commands, I also had to run from the root:

this installed all required libraries

conda run pip3 install -r ./docs/requirements.txt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then to start an agent:

conda run ./run agent start YOUR_CONDA_ACCT_NAME
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
