1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/cogos-ai/CogOS.git cd CogOS
2. Create environment & install dependencies # Create and activate a Python 3.10 conda environment conda create -n cogos python= 3.10 -y conda activate cogos # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Install CogOS as a package (registers the `cogos` CLI command) pip install -e .
For development mode with testing and linting tools, run pip install -e ".[dev]" instead.
# Initialize the project (generates config + template files) cogos init
This creates the files CogOS needs to run:
File Purpose configs/cogos.yamlYour config — edit this to set LLM provider, model, etc.templates/general.jsonBuilt-in general template (editable) templates/roleplay.jsonBuilt-in roleplay template (editable)
Then configure your LLM provider (pick one):
YAML Config
Environment Variables
Open configs/cogos.yaml and set api_key, model, base_url: llm : api_key : "your-api-key" model : "gpt-4o" base_url : "https://api.openai.com/v1"
cp .env.example .env # Edit .env: fill in API_KEY, MODEL, BASE_URL
Environment variables override YAML config values. 4. Verify installation These examples run without an API key:
# Schema operations python examples/01_basic_schema.py # Input converters python examples/03_converters.py
5. Run with LLM Requires a configured API key:
# Full chat with memory python examples/02_chat_with_memory.py # Or start the web server cogos serve # Open http://localhost:8000 # Or run as a background daemon cogos serve start cogos serve status
