# 🚀 How to Contribute to Letta
|
|
|
|
Thank you for investing time in contributing to our project! Here's a guide to get you started.
|
|
|
|
## 1. 🚀 Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### 🍴 Fork the Repository
|
|
|
|
First things first, let's get you a personal copy of Letta to play with. Think of it as your very own playground. 🎪
|
|
|
|
1. Head over to the Letta repository on GitHub.
|
|
2. In the upper-right corner, hit the 'Fork' button.
|
|
|
|
### 🚀 Clone the Repository
|
|
|
|
Now, let's bring your new playground to your local machine.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/your-username/MemGPT.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 🧩 Install Dependencies
|
|
|
|
**Installing dependencies with poetry** (recommended):
|
|
|
|
First, install Poetry using [the official instructions here](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation).
|
|
|
|
Once Poetry is installed, navigate to the Letta directory and install the Letta project with Poetry:
|
|
```shell
|
|
cd Letta
|
|
poetry shell
|
|
poetry install -E dev -E postgres -E local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now when you want to use `letta`, make sure you first activate the `poetry` environment using poetry shell:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ poetry shell
|
|
(pyletta-py3.10) $ letta run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use `poetry run` (which will activate the `poetry` environment for the `letta run` command only):
|
|
```shell
|
|
poetry run letta run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Installing dependencies with pip**:
|
|
|
|
First you should set up a dedicated virtual environment. This is optional, but is highly recommended:
|
|
```shell
|
|
cd Letta
|
|
python3 -m venv venv
|
|
. venv/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you've activated your virtual environment and are in the Letta project directory, you can install the dependencies with `pip`:
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install -e '.[dev,postgres,local]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, you should be able to run `letta` from the command-line using the downloaded source code (if you used a virtual environment, you have to activate the virtual environment to access `letta`):
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ . venv/bin/activate
|
|
(venv) $ letta run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are having dependency issues using `pip`, we recommend you install the package using Poetry. Installing Letta from source using Poetry will ensure that you are using exact package versions that have been tested for the production build.
|
|
|
|
#### (Optional) Installing pre-commit
|
|
We recommend installing pre-commit to ensure proper formatting during development:
|
|
```
|
|
poetry run pre-commit install
|
|
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2. 🛠️ Making Changes
|
|
|
|
### 🌟 Create a Branch
|
|
|
|
Time to put on your creative hat and make some magic happen. First, let's create a new branch for your awesome changes. 🧙♂️
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout -b feature/your-feature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ✏️ Make your Changes
|
|
|
|
Now, the world is your oyster! Go ahead and craft your fabulous changes. 🎨
|
|
|
|
## 3. ✅ Testing
|
|
|
|
Before we hit the 'Wow, I'm Done' button, let's make sure everything works as expected. Run tests and make sure the existing ones don't throw a fit. And if needed, create new tests. 🕵️
|
|
|
|
### Run existing tests
|
|
|
|
Running tests if you installed via poetry:
|
|
```
|
|
poetry run pytest -s tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Running tests if you installed via pip:
|
|
```
|
|
pytest -s tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Creating new tests
|
|
If you added a major feature change, please add new tests in the `tests/` directory.
|
|
|
|
## 4. 🧩 Adding new dependencies
|
|
If you need to add a new dependency to Letta, please add the package via `poetry add <PACKAGE_NAME>`. This will update the `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` files. If the dependency does not need to be installed by all users, make sure to mark the dependency as optional in the `pyproject.toml` file and if needed, create a new extra under `[tool.poetry.extras]`.
|
|
|
|
## 5. 🚀 Submitting Changes
|
|
|
|
### Check Formatting
|
|
Please ensure your code is formatted correctly by running:
|
|
```
|
|
poetry run black . -l 140
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 🚀 Create a Pull Request
|

|
|
3. Choose the base branch (`main`) and the compare branch (your feature branch).
|
|
4. Whip up a catchy title and describe your changes in the description. 🪄
|
|
|
|
## 6. 🔍 Review and Approval
|
|
|
|
The maintainers, will take a look and might suggest some cool upgrades or ask for more details. Once they give the thumbs up, your creation becomes part of Letta!

## WIP - 🐋 Docker Development
|
|
If you prefer to keep your resources isolated by developing purely in containers, you can start Letta in development with:
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker compose -f compose.yaml -f development.compose.yml up
|
|
```
|
|
This will volume mount your local codebase and reload the server on file changes.
