Open Autonomous Economic Agent framework (without vendor lock-in)

Open AEA Framework

A framework for autonomous economic agent (AEA) development with no vendor lock-in

This is a fork of the original AEA project with the benefit that all vendor lock-in at the package level is removed. This means, there are no dependencies on centrally hosted registries for agent packages and the AEA itself does not prefer any package vendor over another. Where feasible, compatibility with the original AEA framework is maintained.

Get started developing AEAs

1. Create and launch a clean virtual environment with Python 3.10 (any Python >= 3.8 works):

   pipenv --python 3.10 && pipenv shell
   

2. Install the package from PyPI:

   pip install open-aea[all]
   

   Or, if you use zsh rather than bash:

   pip install "open-aea[all]"
   

3. Then, build your agent as described in the docs.
