I'm not familiar with CrewAI, but in general it’s not a good idea to use system packages to manage dev environments. Did you try using python a virtual environment? ``` vm02$ mkdir ~/temp vm02$ python3 -m ~/temp/venv temp/venv vm02$ . temp/venv/bin/activate (venv) vm02$ ...do work here... ``` > I'm unsure it would be smooth sailing after Tiktoken is installed, and am > wondering if CrewAI is a feasible route moving forward to create AI agent(s) > in OpenBSD, but it sure would be more than cool to do so, and definitely > sensibly more secure environment to run these kinds of automations on My guess is that it won’t be a smooth sailing. OpenBSD is IMO far from an ideal system for what you’re trying to accomplish. On multiple levels. > Would appreciate guidance on these concerns. > Thank you. Kind regards, P.
