Deploy OpenManus on AWS EC2 : Easy Setup and Configuration
Introduction
OpenManus, an open-source replication of the ManusAI agent system, became available on GitHub in March 2025, gaining over 16,000 stars in days. Built by MetaGPT contributors, it offers a modular AI agent framework. This document details how to download and deploy OpenManus on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as of March 12, 2025, tailored for developers in India or globally seeking scalable cloud hosting.
Prerequisites
- Basic CLI Knowledge: Familiarity with Linux commands.
- AWS Account: Sign up at aws.amazon.com with a free tier option.
- Git Installed: Available locally (git-scm.com).
- AWS CLI: Installed and configured (aws configure with access keys).
Step-by-Step Deployment on Azure
Step 1: Launch an EC2 Instance
Log into AWS Console: Navigate to EC2 > Instances > Launch Instances.
Configure Instance:
AMI: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS (free tier eligible).
Instance Type: t2.medium (4GB RAM, 2 vCPUs) for basic use; t3.large recommended.
Storage: 30GB EBS volume.
Security Group: Allow ports 22 (SSH), 5000 (API), 8000 (Web UI).
Launch: Download the .pem key file for SSH access.
Step 2: Connect to EC2
SSH In:
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<ec2-public-ip>
Step 3: Install Dependencies
Update System:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-venv git
Install UV (Recommended):
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shsource $HOME/.cargo/env
Step 4: Download OpenManus
Clone Repository:
git clone https://github.com/mannaandpoem/OpenManus.gitcd OpenManus
Step 5: Configure and Install
Set Up Config:
Copy example config:
cp config/config.example.toml config/config.toml
Edit config.toml with your API key (e.g., OpenAI):
[llm]model = "gpt-4o"base_url = "https://api.openai.com/v1"api_key = "your-api-key"
Install Dependencies:
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
Step 6: Run OpenManus
Launch:
python3 main.pyAccess api at http://<ec2-public-ip>:5000, Web UI at http://<ec2-public-ip>:8000 (if enabled).
Troubleshooting
- Port Issues: Check security group rules in AWS Console.
- Memory Errors: Upgrade to a larger instance (e.g., t3.large).
Conclusion
Deploying OpenManus on AWS is straightforward with an EC2 instance, leveraging GitHub’s open source availability. This setup offers scalability and accessibility for developers in India, utilizing AWS’s robust infrastructure. Start with a t2.medium instance and scale as needed your AI agent is now cloud ready.
