I have tried installing crewai using both pip and “uv” but I cannot seem to understand why the crewai executable is not getting produced.
running uv tool install crewai shows the error shown in the title
running uv tool list gives "No tools installed "
I am using Python version 3.10.16 on macOS
Running pip freeze | grep crewai gives
crewai==0.120.1
crewai-tools==0.45.0
The error you’re seeing with uv tool install crewai is because CrewAI is not a standalone tool (executable) - it’s a Python package meant to be used within Python scripts.
The installation appears to be successful since pip freeze | grep crewai shows both crewai and crewai-tools are installed.
To use CrewAI, you would typically:
Import it in your Python script:
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
Then create your agents, tasks, and crews within your code.
Then, how to get the CLI command as shown in the installation instructions and in the examples, liks
crewai create-project crew project_name
and things like in this video tutorial
can you share more on if you’re using a virtual environment and also your operating system?
once you install crewai, follow the instructions in our docs to use the cli command. if you’re running into errors, please share more details here, i.e. screenshots or anything that might be helpful for us to help you debug
there must be a defect in the 0.120.1 release, as uv tool install --with crewai-tools crewai@0.120.0 correctly installs both packages.
