Prerequisites:

Before proceeding any further in this article, following are some of the many prerequisites for this article:
  1. Installation of Python.
  2. Download of Browser-Use Code.
  3. Knowledge of Windows Command Prompt.
The running working executable batch file is provided to run this AI agent using python on windows machine.

Download Now!

Let's begin now.

1) If you don't know how to install python on windows machine then checkout my Step-by-Step Guide to Install Python on Windows without Anaconda .

2) After downloading and extracting the Browser-Use AI agent code from the GitHub repository to your designated path, use below command to change into the code root path i.e.

cd D:\BrowseUserAI\web-ui
D:

3) Now, use below command to create the ".env" environment file with the code directory if not already created i.e.

copy .env.example .env

4) Next step is to set your python installation paths, create python virtual environment, activate virtual environment and then upgrade the python pip module. You can looking to step-1 for detail step by step guide for this step.

 

5) Now, install all the require python packages that this AI agent requires with the help of below commands i.e.
