ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

[thedavedunn]

Hello I'm new to python and coding in general. I've installed what I believe are the needed programs / packages

However when I try run the autogpt script I get the following output in terminal

daviddunn@Mac-mini Auto-GPT % python scripts/main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/daviddunn/Documents/GitHub/Auto-GPT/scripts/main.py", line 3, in
import commands as cmd
File "/Users/daviddunn/Documents/GitHub/Auto-GPT/scripts/commands.py", line 1, in
import browse
File "/Users/daviddunn/Documents/GitHub/Auto-GPT/scripts/browse.py", line 1, in
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

I also installed VSC and the python packages there and can seem to run the script from the terminal inside VSC but would like to be able to run this directly inside the mac os terminal without needing to use VSC

Any help appreciated.. thanks!

Check your pip install results - it probably failed due to lack of permission. Try running cmd as admin and install again

[thedavedunn]

do you mean to reinstall python again as admin?

I think autoGPT is not using the "current" virtual environment but Python inside a docker image (haven't figured things out myself yet). But it's clear from "my" auto-gpt prompt that it sees an outdated pip version but the pip version in my virtualenv is definitely the latest.

I think this is the answer for me (running "docker images"):

REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
python 3-alpine ff76bf9157f8 8 days ago 56.8MB

for me the solution seem to be to actually work locally and set this in .env:
EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS=True

ok after reinstalling python and still experiencing the same problem I noticed the prompt from the python launcher in applications folder was saying python3.

Running the following command works

python3 scripts/main.py

[james34roberts]

I’m having the same trouble even when I add python3 scripts/main.py

[GiovaniOliver]

Worked for me, thx

[meadow-kun]

me too, also on mac with homebrew.

[mertkaradayi]

same using mac.

[Craftsman-Sakib]

getting same problem , even after using python3 scripts/main.py

[Entwerpen]

same here, I was first getting the same error for the commands module, then launched main.py from /scripts and got the same error

Hi got the same issue, seems a common thread, all using Mac, any solutions yet ?

[thedavedunn]

Wish I could help guys... I just kept installing packages and trying things until it worked. I think I had a similar problem after updating so I reran the requirements.txt which solved it

[DaurenNox]

Reinstalled it completely.

Now seems to be working fine.

If you are doing it on Ubuntu, do NOT clone to HOME.

That's what helped me

I use windows 10 and has latest python setup . I did get same problem . which is

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests' .

Then i install requests by pip install requests

But it didn't solve. new problem was occurring. like :

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openai'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'
and so on like that

The problem was , maybe i didn't run the
pip install -r requirements.txt

so basically run the pip install -r requirements.txt into CMD ,which should fix this problem .
Otherwise install every dependencies manually into CMD

pip install requests for [ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests' ]
pip install dotenv for [ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv' ]
pip install openai for [ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openai' ]
pip install docker for [ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'docker' ]

And so on. Install them same way pip install (module name).

pip install -r requirements.txt --user worked for me

Hi I had exactly the same issue and after trying lots of things I found I had a very old version of the Xcode command line tools installed. See https://mac.install.guide/commandlinetools/7.html for how you can check this, then I removed and installed the updated version and now Auto-GPT works :)

I am on mac as well. I was able to get all the required modules installed by changing this:

"pip install -r requirements.txt"

to this:

"python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt"

Apparently on my system it runs python v.2 by default, but this forces it to run using version 3. After that I didn't get the "requests" module not found anymore.

ALSO, ON the other commands, you need to replace any "python" with "python3"!

Hope this helps.

im having the same issue have tried all the steps everyone posted and no success

I'm using a virtual environment and run on Mac and none of the solutions above works for me, until I run with another way: docker-compose

[davidmurray-biz]

I'm on an old Mac running OS 10.15.7 and it took me ages to get his working. I finally found auto GPT was running in a docker environment. I also found a docker file in the AutoGPT folder named 'Auto-GPT-0.X.X' or whatever version you're running.

In the file is a list of all the utilities needed to run AutoGPT. To get it working I had to make sure docker was running and then run the following command in terminal

docker build -t python:3-alpine .

python:3-alpine is the name of the docker instance, yours might be different. If docker is running and you run AutoGPT it will tell you the name of the docker instance it can see.

a couple of other little bugs I needed to fix were adding the following to the docker file

RUN alias pip='pip3'
RUN alias python='python3'

so AutoGPT could run commands like 'pip install xxx' without crying about it.

you can also add other python modules in the docker file and I find they load quicker than putting them in the requirements.txt file, like below

RUN pip install requests
RUN pip install pandas
RUN pip install urllib3
RUN pip install autogpt

Good luck and I hope this saves you the many hours I poured over it.

I changed the pyyaml==6.0 to 6.0.1 and it all installed.

pip install package_name --break-system-packages
