Trouble getting started

[magick93]

Hello

I'm really keen to start building with agent. I've run pip install agenta and when I run agenta init and select On my local machine I get the following error:

Error: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/apps/ (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x00007f4f2f0d63a0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

I've tried sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :80 and there doesnt appear to be anything running on port 80.

@magick93 most probably you didn't run agenta
so before running the command above try

cd agenta (agenta's repo you cloned)
docker compose up

@mmabrouk Can we please add in the docs below that we need to run agenta before running the cli commands.

Hey @magick93,

You have two options to run the agenta platform, either locally or using the manager in cloud version.
In case you would like to use the local version, you would need to deploy it locally. Please follow the steps in this tutorial to do it.
Otherwise, you can use the cloud hosted version.
