The error is likely from the previous command. You are attempting to change directory (cd), but the directory you are switching to doesn’t exist. Looking at your project structure, I’m guessing you skipped the “Project Olivia” folder prior to “Project Olivia 1.5”

Assuming the “Project Olivia” folder is in your desktop you could try:

cd “~/Desktop/Project Olivia/Project Olivia 1.5”

Additionally, it appears that you are already in the “Project Olivia” folder, so running:

cd “Project Olivia 1.5”

Should be equivalent to the previous command.

Thank you but Ive tried that already. I’ve been going through the cd and am getting the same so I tried to verify .env file and it’s says it’s good then tried to install dependencies but then it says command not found: pip then I upgrade etc then I go to run python3 ./agent.py console and error no file. I’m going in a circle

I am basing my comments solely on what is being shown in the image provided. Every single error relates to an incorrect handling of the project structure / file locations.

The first failed command (pip install -r requirements.txt) is you trying to install package requirements with pip from the requirements txt file. This file is located in the folder that you are not currently located in, and is failing. The next command attempts to change directory to the correct folder, yet the path is wrong (my previous suggestion was attempting to address this). The final command fails for the same reason as the first (executing a python file that is not located where you are telling the command line that it is).

Could you maybe run "ls -a" and describe the output that you see? I am anticipating that at least one of the displayed folders should be "Project Olivia 1.5", should you still be in the "Project Olivia" directory.

I know this is not helpful at all, but why on earth would you make a photo of your laptop? And why from so far away?

Man would suggest you something I know this is livekit and I've faced the same thing, can you try doing the venv thing again but this time use python -m venv venv instead of python3.

Maybe, before "AI Programming", you should learn the language and learn reading the errors?

You're in the wrong directory. Run pwd to validate. It can't find agent.py, you also never installed the dependencies correctly. You should be using a virtual environment as well.

I think building out AI agents might be above your current skill level. Get a simple package running first. Also, in Mac the default screenshot hotkey is command+shift+3 for entire screen or 4 for selection.

I don't use python much at the moment but even if it did run I don't see anywhere that you're initializing that object and doing anything with it.

What happens if you run that file using the debugger? Also, I'm not sure you need the ./ before the file name since your explicitly invoking python already. You only use the ./ If you've made that file executable and have a shebang at the top that links to the python interpreter. That's where I would start.

This is the problem with AI… creates folder-structures that drive you crazy.

Edit: typo
