Background
AutoGPT is now started with
python -m autogpt
, but that can fail if the user simply cloned the repository, and did not install it via pip. Usually,pip install -e .
is enough to install the source code into PIP, but for that to work, the changes from this PR are necessary (mainly because pip finds other directories such as "output" and "log", and confuses it).Changes
Simply added a
[tool.setuptools]
section to pyproject.toml. This is enough forpip install -e .
to work properly.Documentation
This PR is the documentation.
Test Plan
Tested locally. It does not break things, yet works for the intended purpose.
