Background

Current AutoGPT cannot be run on servers or computing clusters which typically cannot open browsers in GUI mode.

Changes

autogpt/args.py : added parsing for '--no-gui' autogpt/config/config.py: added default value for args.py autogpt/commands/web_selenium: options to disable browser window.

Documentation

Now supports running selenium without GUI, enabling running on terminal-only machines. This function is enabled by python -m autogpt --no-gui

Test Plan

Tested on cloud servers and worked.

I tried running it and got the following error:

Hi. 'master' branch is being updated very frequently and sometimes requirements.txt falls behind. Manual installation will solve this. pip install GitPython

Recommend building an asynchronous API to talk to the currently running process as that would probably be the best method.

Some kind of IPC. I'm sure there are several IPC libraries for Python. Another option would be to host a local http server that takes REST/GRAPHQL calls.

especially once multiple async agents are becoming a thing (#765, #2422), this will be highly useful however, "--headless-mode" would seem like a more appropriate name ?

Since #1473+#2816, browsers open in headless mode by default. This can be adjusted using an environment variable or the .env config, which is probably enough for now. Still, thanks for submitting!
