Open AEA Framework
A framework for autonomous economic agent (AEA) development with no vendor lock-in
This is a fork of the original AEA project with the benefit that all vendor lock-in at the package level is removed. This means, there are no dependencies on centrally hosted registries for agent packages and the AEA itself does not prefer any package vendor over another. Where feasible, compatibility with the original AEA framework is maintained.
## Get started developing AEAs
1. Create and launch a clean virtual environment with Python 3.10 (any Python `>=` 3.8 works):
pipenv --python 3.10 && pipenv shell
2. Install the package from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/open-aea/):
pip install open-aea[all]
Or, if you use `zsh` rather than `bash`:
pip install "open-aea[all]"
3. Then, build your agent as described in the [docs](https://open-aea.docs.autonolas.tech/).
## Alternatively (1): Use `pipx` (CLI usage only)
1. Install [pipx](https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx)
2. Install the package from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/aea/):
pipx install open-aea[all]
3. Run AEA CLI e.g.:
aea --help
## Alternatively (2): Install from Source
This approach is not recommended!
### Cloning
This repository contains submodules. Clone with recursive strategy:
git clone https://github.com/valory-xyz/open-aea.git --recursive && cd open-aea
- To fetch/update submodules (for existing local repo):
git submodule sync --recursive && git submodule update --init --recursive
### Dependencies
All python specific framework dependencies are specified in `setup.py` and installed with the framework. All development dependencies are specified in `Pipfile` (and installed via the commands specified in [Preliminaries](#preliminaries)).
You can have more control on the installed dependencies by leveraging the setuptools' extras mechanism.
### Preliminaries
- Create and launch a virtual environment with Python 3.10 (any Python `>=` 3.8 works):
pipenv --python 3.10 && pipenv shell
- Install the package from source:
pip install .[all]
Or, if you use `zsh` rather than `bash`:
pip install ".[all]"
- Then, build your agent as described in the [docs](https://open-aea.docs.autonolas.tech/).
- Install Skaffold to manage containers & tagging:
```bash
curl -Lo skaffold https://storage.googleapis.com/skaffold/releases/v1.39.0/skaffold-linux-amd64 && \
sudo install skaffold /usr/local/bin/
```
## Documentation
- All documentation is hosted [here](https://open-aea.docs.autonolas.tech/).
- To start a live-reloading docs server on localhost: `mkdocs serve`. To amend the docs, create a new documentation file in `docs/` and add a reference to it in `mkdocs.yml`.
- To run demos against local packages use flag `--local` in `aea` CLI commands.
