## 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 a virtual environment:
```bash
uv venv --python 3.11
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
# Install all dependencies including dev packages
uv pip install . ."[dev]"
```
## Configuration
Set up your environment variables:
```bash
# Copy the example environment file
cp .env.example .env
```
Or manually create a `.env` file with your API keys:
```bash .env
OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
```
<Note>
You can use any LLM model supported by LangChain. See [LangChain
Models](/customize/langchain-models) for available options and their specific
API key requirements.
</Note>
## Development
After setup, you can:
- Run tests with `pytest`
- Build the package with `hatch build`
- Try the examples in the `examples/` directory
