## Prepare the environment
|
|
|
|
Use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to setup the Python environment.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv venv --python 3.12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and activate it with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# For Mac/Linux:
|
|
source .venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
# For Windows:
|
|
.venv\Scripts\activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv pip install browser-use
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then install Chromium from [source](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/) or run the command below (this does not install Playwright only Chromium and dependencies).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uvx playwright install chromium --with-deps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Create an agent
|
|
|
|
Then you can use the agent as follows:
|
|
|
|
```python agent.py
|
|
from browser_use.llm import ChatOpenAI
|
|
from browser_use import Agent
|
|
from dotenv import load_dotenv
|
|
load_dotenv()
|
|
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
|
|
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-5")
|
|
|
|
async def main():
|
|
agent = Agent(
|
|
task="Go to Hacker News and find the number 1 trending on Show HN",
|
|
llm=llm,
|
|
)
|
|
result = await agent.run()
|
|
print(result)
|
|
|
|
asyncio.run(main())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Set up your LLM API keys
|
|
|
|
You need to set up API keys for the LLM you want to use and store them in `.env` file. For example, for OpenAI and Anthropic:
|
|
|
|
```bash .env
|
|
OPENAI_API_KEY=
|
|
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For other LLM models you can refer to the [Supported Models](/customize/supported-models) page to find how to set them up with their specific API keys.
