Current behavior 😯

I have installed the latest version. Requirements are also installed. When trying to run the autogpt the above error comes. How to solve this?

Have you tried the command python -m autogpt --gpt3only?

Have you tried the command python -m autogpt --gpt3only?

yes and still does not work

Seems like the logger is trying to create the logs in the wrong directory. It should be inside the project, not in C:\Program Files\Python311\

and how can I change this?

[k-boikov]

For some reason you have the folder autogpt under C:\Program Files\Python311, you should remove it and use the one you have on your desktop. Seems like you have cloned the repo in the Python311 folder, so it might be totally messed up. I would reinstall Python 311 if I were you.

thank you I will try that

reinstalling python did not help. I cloned again the repo on the desktop after reinstalling python. now I get this: PS C:\Users\grigo> cd desktop PS C:\Users\grigo\desktop> cd GPT PS C:\Users\grigo\desktop\GPT> cd Auto-GPT PS C:\Users\grigo\desktop\GPT\Auto-GPT> cd autogpt PS C:\Users\grigo\desktop\GPT\Auto-GPT\autogpt> python -m autogpt C:\Program Files\Python311\python.exe: No module named autogpt PS C:\Users\grigo\desktop\GPT\Auto-GPT\autogpt>

Run the command in the root folder "Auto-GPT", not in "autogpt".

You issue is referenced here: https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/issues/1410. I created the auto-gpt.json using my IDE. Read more about it in the issue I just linked.

The issue with auto-gpt.json true, but that is not what's causing the exception. The real issue is with git. Download it and install it from here https://git-scm.com/

thanks for the time. I managed to solve the problem with starting it. I added the Path Variable to the git.exe and is working now Thank you for your time :)
