[Feature Request] Add Windows .bat Launcher for ChatDev
Feature Description I propose the addition of a Windows batch file (.bat) launcher for the ChatDev project. This feature would enable Windows users to start the ChatDev environment more conveniently by double-clicking a simple .bat file, rather than going through the command line or setting environment variables manually.
Rationale Given that a significant portion of developers and users might be operating on Windows, the addition of a .bat launcher could significantly enhance the accessibility and user-friendliness of ChatDev for this group. It would streamline the process of setting up and starting the ChatDev environment, encouraging more developers to adopt and contribute to the project.
Proposed Solution The solution would involve creating a .bat file that automates the environment setup and launches ChatDev. This script could handle tasks such as activating the virtual environment, setting necessary environment variables, and starting the ChatDev server or development environment. The aim is to reduce the setup to a simple double-click for Windows users.
Additional Context Ease of setup and use is crucial for open-source projects to attract and retain contributors and users. By lowering the barrier to entry, we can enhance community engagement and support for ChatDev. Other similar projects have seen success and increased adoption by providing platform-specific launchers, and I believe ChatDev could benefit from this as well.
I am excited about the potential improvements this feature could bring to ChatDev and am looking forward to your feedback. I am also willing to help in the development of this feature if needed.
Thank you for considering this proposal.
