MetaGPT: The Multi-Agent Framework

Assign different roles to GPTs to form a collaborative software entity for complex tasks.

1. MetaGPT takes a one line requirement as input and outputs user stories / competitive analysis / requirements / data structures / APIs / documents, etc.
2. Internally, MetaGPT includes product managers / architects / project managers / engineers. It provides the entire process of a software company along with carefully orchestrated SOPs.
   1. Code = SOP(Team) is the core philosophy. We materialize SOP and apply it to teams composed of LLMs.

Install

Pip installation

# Step 1: Ensure that NPM is installed on your system. Then install mermaid-js. (If you don't have npm in your computer, please go to the Node.js official website to install Node.js https://nodejs.org/ and then you will have npm tool in your computer.)
npm --version
sudo npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

# Step 2: Ensure that Python 3.9+ is installed on your system. You can check this by using:
# You can use conda to initialize a new python env
#     conda create -n metagpt python=3.9
#     conda activate metagpt
python3 --version

# Step 3: Clone the repository to your local machine for latest version, and install it.
git clone https://github.com/geekan/metagpt
cd metagpt
pip3 install -e.     # or pip3 install metagpt  # for stable version

# Step 4: run the startup.py
# setup your OPENAI_API_KEY in key.yaml copy from config.yaml
python3 startup.py "Write a cli snake game"

detail installation please refer to cli_install

Docker installation

# Step 1: Download metagpt official image and prepare config.yaml
docker pull metagpt/metagpt:latest
mkdir -p /opt/metagpt/{config,workspace}
docker run --rm metagpt/metagpt:latest cat /app/metagpt/config/config.yaml > /opt/metagpt/config/key.yaml
vim /opt/metagpt/config/key.yaml # Change the config

# Step 2: Run metagpt demo with container
docker run --rm \
    --privileged \
    -v /opt/metagpt/config/key.yaml:/app/metagpt/config/key.yaml \
    -v /opt/metagpt/workspace:/app/metagpt/workspace \
    metagpt/metagpt:latest \
    python startup.py "Write a cli snake game"
