Just open the AutoGPT file in VScode and create a new file called "auto-gpt.json" and save it to the main folder

If you still get errors after this just use "python -m autogpt --debug" in the command line

I had to run it a couple of times before it fixed all the errors. Try running it again

The failed response after 5 retries is potentially due to you not paying platform.openai.com for API access. they'll give you the API key before you set up billing.

can this be a .txt file?

DrReefer avatar Apr 14 '23 22:04 DrReefer

nope, it's gotta be a .json file

josephdgomez avatar Apr 14 '23 23:04 josephdgomez

auto-gpt okay so I went into .devcontainer file, copied devcontainer.json then pasted in autogpt file, opened it in text file, deleted everything and renamed it auto-gpt.json and I still get this error Warning: The file 'auto-gpt.json' does not exist. Local memory would not be saved to a file. Please set your OpenAI API key in .env or as an environment variable. You can get your key from https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys

When you said open the AutoGPT file in VScode, which file did you mean? Also I don't have auto-gpt.json file here.

I haven't found one

@GrantEagles @DrReefer you need to get your API keys and set them up in the .env file. The .env file should be copied and pasted from .env.template file.

Instructions on which API key obtained from where are in the README.md (Step 5 under Installation)

When I cloned, it doesn't have .env.template only has .env

DrReefer avatar Apr 15 '23 03:04 DrReefer

@DrReefer please check the repo. There is a .env.template file. Or please re git clone the repo again.

@DrReefer - please let me know if you found a solution. I followed the same steps as you and received the same error.

Hey, make sure the .env file is not a text file. I've was able to get it to work. Screenshot 2023-04-15 025836

"make sure the .env file is not a text file. I've was able to get it to work." kinda works but The file 'auto-gpt.json' does not exist.

Can some one please confirm if paying the open AI API solved this issue?

I've had the same issue, I think it comes down to the fact that it can't find an outer bracket somewhere, even after you have the .json file. I'm probably wrong though.

Create a blank file and name it auto-gpt.json it worked smoothly afterwards.

also you need to setup billing for Chatgpt api or it’s not going to work.

Well, I setup my billing and still getting the same message, the .env is a env file type not a text or template as my mac was taking it, and the API key is there so not sure what else to try. has anyone got this working on mac?

I have finally got it, in my case, the issue was that the Mac file extension was for some reason taking the .env as an Adobe Illustrator file type, I removed that file type from the file info and then it worked.

我也用的是mac
