This repository contains scripts to install and run AutoGen Studio within a specified directory using Miniconda, with a specific patch to ensure compatibility with LM-Studio. The scripts ensure a clean installation without modifying the global system environment.

AutoGen Studio is an innovative platform developed by Microsoft for creating and managing multi-agent workflows. It provides a user-friendly interface for designing, prototyping, and integrating various agents, enabling users to build complex, automated systems with ease. AutoGen Studio supports both no-code and low-code approaches, making it accessible for developers of all skill levels. It includes sections for building agent workflows, testing interactions, and storing development sessions for future reference.

• Isolated Environment: The installer creates a dedicated Conda environment, ensuring that AutoGen Studio and its dependencies do not interfere with other software on your system.
• Reproducibility: Using Conda ensures that the environment can be easily replicated, which is crucial for collaborative projects and production deployments.
• Easy Setup: The provided scripts automate the installation and setup process, saving time and reducing the potential for configuration errors.
• Customization: The installer allows for easy customization, such as modifying default settings.

• install_autogen.sh: Script to install Miniconda, create the autogenstudio Conda environment, install necessary packages, and patch the datamodel.py file.
• run_autogenstudio.sh: Script to activate the autogenstudio environment and run the AutoGen Studio UI.

• Linux-based system
• Bash shell

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/strnad/autogenstudio-easy-installer-lmstudio-patch.git
   cd autogenstudio-easy-installer-lmstudio-patch

2. Make the scripts executable:

   chmod +x install_autogen.sh run_autogenstudio.sh

3. Run the installation script:

   ./install_autogen.sh

   This script will:

   • Download and install Miniconda in the current directory.
   • Create the autogenstudio Conda environment with Python 3.11.
   • Install the necessary packages.
   • Patch the datamodel.py file to set max_tokens: Optional[int] = 4096.

1. Run the AutoGen Studio UI:

   ./run_autogenstudio.sh

   This script will:

   • Activate the autogenstudio environment.
   • Run the AutoGen Studio UI on port 8081.
   • Deactivate the Conda environment after the UI is closed.

During the installation process, the script applies a patch to the datamodel.py file. This patch addresses a bug that was causing the model to generate only 2 tokens, preventing effective use of AutoGen Studio with LM-Studio. Specifically, it sets the default value of max_tokens to 4096:

max_tokens: Optional[int] = 4096
