|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Browser Use requires Python 3.11 or higher. We recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for Python environment management.
|
|
|
|
## Clone the Repository
|
|
|
|
First, clone the Browser Use repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use
|
|
cd browser-use
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Environment Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Create and activate a virtual environment:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv venv --python 3.11
|
|
source .venv/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install the package in editable mode with all development dependencies
|
|
uv sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Set up your environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Copy the example environment file
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or manually create a `.env` file with the API key for the models you want to use set:
|
|
|
|
```bash .env
|
|
OPENAI_API_KEY=...
|
|
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
|
|
AZURE_ENDPOINT=
|
|
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=
|
|
GEMINI_API_KEY=
|
|
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=
|
|
GROK_API_KEY=
|
|
NOVITA_API_KEY=
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
You can use any LLM model supported by LangChain. See
|
|
[LangChain Models](/customize/supported-models) for available options and their specific
|
|
API key requirements.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
After setup, you can:
|
|
|
|
- Try demos in the example library with `uv run examples/simple.py`
|
|
- Run the linter/formatter with `uv run ruff format examples/some/file.py`
|
|
- Run tests with `uv run pytest`
|
|
- Build the package with `uv build`
|
|
