Software Company as Multi-Agent System

1. MetaGPT takes a one line requirement as input and outputs user stories / competitive analysis / requirements / data structures / APIs / documents, etc.
2. Internally, MetaGPT includes product managers / architects / project managers / engineers. It provides the entire process of a software company along with carefully orchestrated SOPs.
   1. Code = SOP(Team) is the core philosophy. We materialize SOP and apply it to teams composed of LLMs.

Install

Pip installation

Ensure that Python 3.9+ is installed on your system. You can check this by using: python --version.
You can use conda like this: conda create -n metagpt python=3.9 && conda activate metagpt

pip install metagpt
# https://docs.deepwisdom.ai/main/en/guide/get_started/configuration.html
metagpt --init-config  # it will create ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml, just modify it to your needs

Configuration

You can configure ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml according to the example and doc:

llm:
  api_type: "openai"  # or azure / ollama / open_llm etc. Check LLMType for more options
  model: "gpt-4-turbo-preview"  # or gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 / gpt-4-1106-preview
  base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"  # or forward url / other llm url
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"

Usage

After installation, you can use it as CLI

metagpt "Create a 2048 game"  # this will create a repo in ./workspace

or you can use it as library

from metagpt.software_company import generate_repo, ProjectRepo
repo: ProjectRepo = generate_repo("Create a 2048 game")  # or ProjectRepo("<path>")
print(repo)  # it will print the repo structure with files

detail installation please refer to cli_install or docker_install

Docker installation

⏬ Step 1: Download metagpt image and prepare config2.yaml :: click to expand ::

docker pull metagpt/metagpt:latest
mkdir -p /opt/metagpt/{config,workspace}
docker run --rm metagpt/metagpt:latest cat /app/metagpt/config/config2.yaml > /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml
vim /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml # Change the config

⏬ Step 2: Run metagpt container :: click to expand ::

docker run --name metagpt -d \
    --privileged \
    -v /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml:/app/metagpt/config/config2.yaml \
    -v /opt/metagpt/workspace:/app/metagpt/workspace \
    metagpt/metagpt:latest

⏬ Step 3: Use metagpt :: click to expand ::

docker exec -it metagpt /bin/bash
$ metagpt "Create a 2048 game"  # this will create a repo in ./workspace
