MAC support

[bhupesh-sf]

Hey, I am on apple mac m2 series. I see install instructions only for Linux and Windows. How can I use it on mac?

[jbexta]

Will try to get binaries out tomorrow (intel and silicone) and I'll add build instructions for Mac

[bhupesh-sf]

Thanks a lot

[jbexta]

Open interpreter had some issues with the new version, I've fixed those and it's now ready to build into executables but I gotta get some sleep, hopefully get them out in the morning

[bhupesh-sf]

Hey, no worries. Take some rest :). Thanks again

[jbexta]

I've managed to get it built but only on Intel, my plan for silicone was to use a cloud mac (macincloud) but apparently they don't give you sudo access.
Apparently you can run intel apps on silicone though right? Macs are totally new to me and I still don't really get them.
Still some issues with the binaries I need to fix (see release notes)

Let us know if you have any issues

[bhupesh-sf]

Hey, there is a way but its not optimized and very slow. If you can let me know the steps I can try to build on my mac and share??

Another way is build universal binaries which works on both intel and silicon. I am not sure how to do that but definitely ready to help in any ways I can.

[jbexta]

Ah ok, I'll need to look into that, the app itself it pretty lightweight, when I see to the start times it might be bearable.

I still need to update the build.py file for mac, but the instructions here https://github.com/jbexta/AgentPilot/blob/master/docs%2Fguides%2Fhow_to_build.md are almost the same (Linux without build.py)
The only difference is I used poetry to install the packages (the requirements.txt didn't work for me on mac)
Tldr:
-Install poetry if not already
-Follow instructions in guide but instead of pip install -r requirements do poetry install
-Also I'm not sure if Mac has pyenv, I just used a venv created by PyCharm. You can use anything to create and activate a venv, as long as it's a python3.10 venv.

Will update build script and better instructions when I get chance

[jbexta]

Oh wait I think the packages were different too, I'm just updating it now

[bhupesh-sf]

let me know once updated because I have already setup the project but build.py is failing at the moment.

[jbexta]

@bhupesh-sf The build.py script is working now on my machine and I've removed some unnecessary dependencies.
The script requires pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv to be installed on the system.
Remember to update the project or delete and re-clone.
Hopefully this works now

[bhupesh-sf]

It worked, but how do I share it now as GH is not allowing because of its size?

Also I believe more documentation and maybe some videos are required to teach how to effectively use it along with possible use cases

[jbexta]

Nice! It's up to you if you'd like to share it here or in another repo, but for security reasons I can't host binaries built by others on the repo, hope you understand. I could add a link for it as an unofficial build.
Yea definitely lacking on documentation, I'm working on a video walk-through demonstrating all capabilities.
I'll be creating stuff with it now and sharing it, so it won't just be a blank canvas

[bhupesh-sf]

Thats alright, I understand your concern regarding security. I can keep it to myself for now. No worries. One quick question what I need to do to update it, doing the same process again??

[jbexta]

Yea, major updates aren't too often though, on average every 3 months or something. I'll probably do some minor updates over the next few weeks.. I think the more interesting updates from now on will be extension bundles for the app (custom Modules/Pages/Blocks/Tools/Agents etc)
The first one will be Tasks (scheduled or recurring workflows)

[jbexta]

I need to implement automatic updates / auto-build at some point
