Conda Install Agentjet Swarm Server

when the user only need to run agentjet client, and do not have to run models locally (e.g. user in their laptop), ONLY install AgentJet basic requirements is enough (pip install -e .). see install-agentjet-client skill

Prerequisites Check

Check Python version requirement (3.10) and conda availability.

Verify user has conda installed:

conda --version

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone the AgentJet repository from GitHub and navigate into the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/modelscope/AgentJet.git
cd AgentJet

Step 2: Create Conda Environment

Create a new conda environment with Python 3.10:

conda create -n ajet-verl python=3.10
conda activate ajet-verl

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Default Installation

Install AgentJet with the verl training backbone:

pip install -e .[verl]

For Users in China

Use Aliyun PyPI mirror for faster downloads:

pip install -i https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/ -e .[verl]

Step 4: Test GitHub Connection

Before installing flash-attn, test the connection to GitHub:

curl -I --connect-timeout 10 https://github.com 2>/dev/null | head -n 1

If the connection test fails or times out:

!!! danger "IMPORTANT: GitHub Connection Issue Detected" ⚠️ WARNING: You cannot connect to GitHub stably!

flash-attn requires downloading pre-compiled wheels from GitHub. Without a stable GitHub connection, pip will attempt to build flash-attn from source, which can take **30 minutes to several hours**.

**Recommended actions:**
1. Set up a stable connection to GitHub (VPN, proxy, etc.)
2. Use a mirror that hosts flash-attn pre-compiled wheels
3. If you must proceed, set `MAX_JOBS` to limit CPU usage during build:
   ```bash
   export MAX_JOBS=4  # Adjust based on your CPU cores
   ```

**Do you want to proceed anyway?** (This may take a very long time)

Step 5: Install flash-attn

flash-attn must be installed after other dependencies:

Default Installation

pip install --verbose flash-attn --no-deps --no-build-isolation --no-cache

For Users in China

pip install -i https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/ --verbose flash-attn --no-deps --no-build-isolation --no-cache

!!! warning "flash-attn Installation" - flash-attn must be installed after other dependencies. - Ensure a healthy connection to GitHub to install pre-compiled wheels. - If you find your machine spend a long time installing flash-attn, ensure a healthy connection to GitHub. - To build faster, export MAX_JOBS=${N_CPU}.

Verification

Verify the installation:

python -c "import ajet; print(ajet.__version__)"
