Which area covers your issue best?

Installation and setup

Describe your issue.

Putting a file called setup.py in the main directory, is inviting people to just run it to see what happens... and if what happens is that their entire venv that might or might not be easily re-creatable just gets wiped, it will not create a good first experience...

Before such a command is run, it should ask for confirmation. Ie. either remove the -f, or explicitly prompt the user or point them in the right direction, or explain why.

I mean, anyone who reads the docs or setup.sh will see that pyenv and poetry or docker should be used... but not 100% of people who try this, will read it first.

At least a message in the script can explain to try to be more helpful.

Isn't the whole idea of autogpt to make computers more helpful?
