Troubleshooting

For mac and linux system, there are sometimes slim python installations that do not include the gpt-engineer requirement tkinter, which is a standard library and thus not pip installable.

To install tkinter on mac, you can for example use brew:

$ brew install python-tk

On debian-based linux systems you can use:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-tk
