Welcome to Auto-GPT. Please follow the [Installation](/setup/) guide to get started.

It is recommended to use a virtual machine for tasks that require high security measures to prevent any potential harm to the main computer's system and data.
NOTE: It is recommended to use a virtual machine/container (docker) for tasks that require high security measures to prevent any potential harm to the main computer's system and data. If you are considering to use Auto-GPT outside a virtualized/containerized environment, you are *strongly* advised to use a separate user account just for running Agent-GPT. This is even more important if you are going to allow Agent-GPT to write/execute scripts and run shell commands !

It is for these reasons that executing python scripts is explicitly disabled when running outside a container environment.
