Ubuntu 22.04 - Error when running "agency-swarm import-agent --name Devid" from YoutubeVideo Introducing Devid, AI Software Engineer You Can Actually Use

[fournicknet]

I followed the steps as close as i could to your youtube video. I get an error when I run

agency-swarm import-agent --name Devid

seluser@e20902d50891:/app$ agency-swarm import-agent --name Devid Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/seluser/venv/bin/agency-swarm", line 8, in sys.exit(main()) File "/home/seluser/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/agency_swarm/cli.py", line 54, in main import_agent(args.name, args.destination) File "/home/seluser/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/agency_swarm/util/cli/import_agent.py", line 16, in import_agent os.makedirs(agent_destination, exist_ok=True) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/os.py", line 225, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: './Devid'

For kicks I tried running the docker image as sudo since it is running in a VM and it still gives this error

In the video i see that you have a settings.json file, should i have that file too or atleast a template?

The error message you're encountering (PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: './Devid') indicates that the process running the agency-swarm command does not have the necessary permissions to create a directory or write to it in the current working environment. Even though you tried running the Docker container as sudo, the issue persists, which suggests the permissions issue is within the Docker container itself, not the host.

Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Check the Current User Inside the Docker Container: First, ensure that the user within the Docker container has the appropriate permissions. Run whoami and id to check the user and their permissions.

Modify Docker User Permissions:

If the user has limited permissions, you might need to adjust the Docker configuration to run as a user with appropriate permissions. You can either use the root user inside the Docker container by adding USER root in your Dockerfile, or set the user to one with appropriate permissions. Adjust Directory Permissions:

Before running the command, ensure the directory where you want to create the Devid folder has the correct permissions. You can change the permissions of the directory using: bash Copy code chmod -R 777 /desired/directory This command gives all users full permissions (read, write, and execute) to the directory. Replace /desired/directory with the actual path where you need the permissions adjusted. Use this command judiciously, as setting permissions too broadly can be a security risk. Using Docker Volumes:

If you're using Docker volumes, ensure the mounted volumes have the correct permissions. Sometimes, volumes mounted from the host can have restrictive permissions that don't align with what's needed inside the container. Executing the Command with Sudo Inside the Container:

Though running Docker as sudo on your host machine, it doesn't necessarily mean commands inside the Docker container are executed as sudo. Try running the agency-swarm command prefixed with sudo inside the container: bash Copy code sudo agency-swarm import-agent --name Devid Check the Agency-Swarm Documentation or Community:

If the issue persists, check the documentation for agency-swarm for any configuration specifics or permissions requirements. Additionally, community forums, GitHub issues related to agency-swarm, or official support channels may have insights or similar reported issues. Implement these steps one at a time to identify and resolve the permission issue. If the problem continues, consider providing more details about your Docker configuration and how you're executing your container.

When I initially had trouble installing docker but was able to over come those challenges by using documents at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-ubuntu-22-04 . I was able to give docker the correct permissions to run. I was able to resolve my issue by following your suggestion of giving the directory execute, read, write access. From inside the docker image I was able to run the command 'agency-swarm import-agent --name Devid' Thank you
