{/* You can install Browser Use from PyPI or clone it from Github. */}
## Prepare the environment
Browser Use requires Python 3.11 or higher.
First, we recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to setup the Python environment.
```bash
uv venv --python 3.11
```
and activate it with:
```bash
# For Mac/Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate
# For Windows:
.venv\Scripts\activate
```
Install the dependencies:
```bash
uv pip install browser-use
```
Then install playwright:
```bash
playwright install
```
## Create an agent
Then you can use the agent as follows:
```python agent.py
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from browser_use import Agent
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
import asyncio
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
async def main():
agent = Agent(
task="Compare the price of gpt-4o and DeepSeek-V3",
llm=llm,
)
result = await agent.run()
print(result)
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Set up your LLM API keys
`ChatOpenAI` and other Langchain chat models require API keys. You should store these in your `.env` file. For example, for OpenAI and Anthropic, you can set the API keys in your `.env` file, such as:
```bash .env
OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
```
For other LLM models you can refer to the [Langchain documentation](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/chat/) to find how to set them up with their specific API keys.
