Where to fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY?

[brunsonator3]

Where do I paste the API Key? Do I just paste it in the CMD: C:\Users\user\Auto-GPT> sk-randomunits?

Or do I need to do something else? I'm also using windows.

Either set it like this;

Set the API key

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

or edit the env file as per the instructions:

Rename .env.template to .env and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY

Do I keep the ' ?

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

or edit the env file as per the instructions:

Rename .env.template to .env and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY

It says "'os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY']' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

[Danny1218]

Try and edit this instead with notepad++ or similar program;

Rename .env.template to .env and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY

[Danny1218]

you need to import os first;

import os

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

I'm on Windows CMD.

'import' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'd Download Visual Code or Pycharm, its less messing about

otherwise you need to search in your settings for environment variables and add into there.

I'm working in .env now

[EricFedrowisch]

Is it working for you now? I'd suggest putting it in an .env file, fwiw. The changes you make there will be respected by git if/when you update the code from here later since it's in the .gitignore file.

Please open the .env file with a text editor and replace your-openai-api-key with your new OpenAi API KEY

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key

Save/overwrite the file

Give us feeback!

You need to add to you environment variables if using CMD;

I think you can do it like this;

setx OPENAI_API_KEY "type your key here"

[brunsonator3]

Hey so I figured it out. I had to edit the keys in the .env file using notepad++ and typing in the api keys. Then typing in the CMD: python scripts/main.py

Then install pips as necessary.

Thank you all.

Does anyone know how to find/edit the .env file on a mac? Or rename it through the terminal?

[moein9gh]

put following code inside autogpt/main.py

import os os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = ''

replace with your open api key
