|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure you have Python >=3.10 <=3.13 installed on your system. CrewAI uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) for dependency management and package handling, offering a seamless setup and execution experience.
|
||||
|
||||
First, if you haven't already, install Poetry:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install poetry
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, install CrewAI:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
pip install crewai
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to install the 'crewai' package along with its optional features that include additional tools for agents, you can do so by using the following command: pip install 'crewai[tools]'. This command installs the basic package and also adds extra components which require more dependencies to function."
|
||||
If you want to install the 'crewai' package along with its optional features that include additional tools for agents, you can do so by using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
|
||||
```
|
||||
The command above installs the basic package and also adds extra components which require more dependencies to function.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Setting Up Your Crew
|
||||
### 2. Setting Up Your Crew with the YAML Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new CrewAI project, run the following CLI (Command Line Interface) command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
crewai create crew <project_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This command creates a new project folder with the following structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
my_project/
|
||||
├── .gitignore
|
||||
├── pyproject.toml
|
||||
├── README.md
|
||||
├── .env
|
||||
└── src/
|
||||
└── my_project/
|
||||
├── __init__.py
|
||||
├── main.py
|
||||
├── crew.py
|
||||
├── tools/
|
||||
│ ├── custom_tool.py
|
||||
│ └── __init__.py
|
||||
└── config/
|
||||
├── agents.yaml
|
||||
└── tasks.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can now start developing your crew by editing the files in the `src/my_project` folder. The `main.py` file is the entry point of the project, the `crew.py` file is where you define your crew, the `agents.yaml` file is where you define your agents, and the `tasks.yaml` file is where you define your tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
#### To customize your project, you can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Modify `src/my_project/config/agents.yaml` to define your agents.
|
||||
- Modify `src/my_project/config/tasks.yaml` to define your tasks.
|
||||
- Modify `src/my_project/crew.py` to add your own logic, tools, and specific arguments.
|
||||
- Modify `src/my_project/main.py` to add custom inputs for your agents and tasks.
|
||||
- Add your environment variables into the `.env` file.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example of a simple crew with a sequential process:
|
||||
|
||||
Instatiate your crew:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
crewai create crew latest-ai-development
|
||||
```

||||

```
|

### 3. Running Your Crew
|
||||
|
||||
Before running your crew, make sure you have the following keys set as environment variables in your `.env` file:
|
||||
|
||||
- An [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) (or other LLM API key): `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...`
|
||||
- A [Serper.dev](https://serper.dev/) API key: `SERPER_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE`
|
||||
|
||||
Lock the dependencies and install them by using the CLI command but first, navigate to your project directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
cd my_project
|
||||
crewai install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To run your crew, execute the following command in the root of your project:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
crewai run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python src/my_project/main.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should see the output in the console and the `report.md` file should be created in the root of your project with the full final report.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the sequential process, you can use the hierarchical process, which automatically assigns a manager to the defined crew to properly coordinate the planning and execution of tasks through delegation and validation of results.
