# Installing CrewAI
CrewAI is a flexible and powerful AI framework that enables you to create and manage AI agents, tools, and tasks efficiently.
Let's get you set up! 🚀
<Steps>
<Step title="Install CrewAI">
Install CrewAI with all recommended tools using either method:
```shell Terminal
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
or
```shell Terminal
pip install crewai crewai-tools
```
<Note>
Both methods install the core package and additional tools needed for most use cases.
</Note>
</Step>
<Step title="Upgrade CrewAI (Existing Installations Only)">
If you have an older version of CrewAI installed, you can upgrade it:
```shell Terminal
pip install --upgrade crewai crewai-tools
```
<Warning>
If you see a Poetry-related warning, you'll need to migrate to our new dependency manager:
```shell Terminal
crewai update
```
This will update your project to use [UV](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv), our new faster dependency manager.
</Warning>
<Note>
Skip this step if you're doing a fresh installation.
</Note>
</Step>
<Step title="Verify Installation">
Check your installed versions:
```shell Terminal
pip freeze | grep crewai
```
You should see something like:
```markdown Output
crewai==X.X.X
crewai-tools==X.X.X
```
<Check>Installation successful! You're ready to create your first crew.</Check>
</Step>
</Steps>
# Creating a New Project
<Info>
We recommend using the YAML Template scaffolding for a structured approach to defining agents and tasks.
</Info>
<Steps>
<Step title="Generate Project Structure">
Run the CrewAI CLI command:
```shell Terminal
crewai create crew <project_name>
```
This creates a new project with the following structure:
<Frame>
```
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
```
</Frame>
</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 |
<Tip>
Start by editing `agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml` to define your crew's behavior.
Keep sensitive information like API keys in `.env`.
</Tip>
