I had to update my run.sh file and change python to python3 and pip to pip3 and then was able to successfully run

[UlrichThiess]

make symlinks python to python3 and so on

[RoyalFatness]

Can someone show me step-by-step how to do this? I am complete nub

For me, inside the run.bat file (within root), I replaced python -m autogpt %* by py -m autogpt %*., and now it runs.

On what OS are you trying to run run.sh ?

[nawartamawi]

To create symbolic links for python to point to python3, and also for pip to point to pip3, follow these steps:

Open a terminal.

Remove any existing python and pip symbolic links in /usr/local/bin:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/python
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/pip

Create new symbolic links for python to point to python3 and for pip to point to pip3:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python
ln -s /usr/local/bin/pip3 /usr/local/bin/pip

Now, when you run the python command, it should invoke Python 3.x, and when you run the pip command, it should invoke pip3

Just ask Chat-GPT.

"How could i run Python with the command 'python' instead of 'python3'?

[blizzard25]

There's a much simpler solution to this.

sudo apt install python-is-python3

Install and everything works

In the Auto-GPT Folder. Go down to "run.sh" in there, go to line 2 and line 8 and switch "python" to "python3" and in line 6 switch "pip" to "pip3"

Changes to pip3 and python3 confirmed. Works

[AdamDudley]

changed pip to pip3 and python to python3 fixed for me too. (this is what comes of just running scripts, feeling save in a VM :)
