## Text Tutorial
<Note>
**Python Version Requirements**
CrewAI requires `Python >=3.10 and <3.14`. Here's how to check your version:
```bash
python3 --version
```
If you need to update Python, visit [python.org/downloads](https://python.org/downloads)
</Note>
<Note>
**OpenAI SDK Requirement**
CrewAI 0.175.0 requires `openai >= 1.13.3`. If you manage dependencies yourself, ensure your environment satisfies this constraint to avoid import/runtime issues.
</Note>
CrewAI uses the `uv` as its dependency management and package handling tool. It simplifies project setup and execution, offering a seamless experience.
If you haven't installed `uv` yet, follow **step 1** to quickly get it set up on your system, else you can skip to **step 2**.
<Steps>
<Step title="Install uv">
- **On macOS/Linux:**
Use `curl` to download the script and execute it with `sh`:
```shell
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
If your system doesn't have `curl`, you can use `wget`:
```shell
wget -qO- https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
- **On Windows:**
Use `irm` to download the script and `iex` to execute it:
```shell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```
If you run into any issues, refer to [UV's installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) for more information.
</Step>
<Step title="Install CrewAI 🚀">
- Run the following command to install `crewai` CLI:
```shell
uv tool install crewai
```
<Warning>
If you encounter a `PATH` warning, run this command to update your shell:
```shell
uv tool update-shell
```
</Warning>
<Warning>
If you encounter the `chroma-hnswlib==0.7.6` build error (`fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'float.h'`) on Windows, install [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) with *Desktop development with C++*.
</Warning>
- To verify that `crewai` is installed, run:
```shell
uv tool list
```
- You should see something like:
```shell
crewai v0.102.0
- crewai
```
- If you need to update `crewai`, run:
```shell
uv tool install crewai --upgrade
```
<Check>Installation successful! You're ready to create your first crew! 🎉</Check>

# Creating a CrewAI Project
We recommend using the `YAML` template scaffolding for a structured approach to defining agents and tasks. Here's how to get started:
<Steps>
<Step title="Generate Project Scaffolding">
- Run the `crewai` CLI command:
```shell
crewai create crew <your_project_name>
```
- This creates a new project with the following structure:
```
my_project/
├── .gitignore
├── knowledge/
├── 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
```
</Step>
<Step title="Customize Your Project">
- Your project will contain these essential files:
| File | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `agents.yaml` | Define your AI agents and their roles |
| `tasks.yaml` | Set up agent tasks and workflows |
| `.env` | Store API keys and environment variables |
| `main.py` | Project entry point and execution flow |
| `crew.py` | Crew orchestration and coordination |
| `tools/` | Directory for custom agent tools |
| `knowledge/` | Directory for knowledge base |
- Start by editing `agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml` to define your crew's behavior.
- Keep sensitive information like API keys in `.env`.
</Step>
<Step title="Run your Crew">
- Before you run your crew, make sure to run:
```bash
crewai install
```
- If you need to install additional packages, use:
```shell
uv add <package-name>
```
- To run your crew, execute the following command in the root of your project:
```bash
crewai run
```
</Step>
</Steps>
