Prerequisites

 

Step-by-Step Deployment on Azure

Step 1: Create a VM

  1. Log into Azure Portal: Navigate to Virtual Machines > Create.

  2. Configure:

    • Resource Group: openmanus-rg (new).

    • Name: openmanus-vm.

    • Image: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.

    • Size: B2s (2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM).

    • Inbound Ports: 22 (SSH), 5000 (API), 8000 (Web UI).

  3. Deploy: Save the SSH key.

Step 2: Connect to VM

SSH:

ssh -i <your-key.pem> azureuser@<public-ip>

 

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Update:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-venv git

 

Install UV:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shsource $HOME/.cargo/env

Set API key:

[llm]model = "gpt-4o"api_key = "your-api-key"

 

Install:

uv pip install -r requirements.txt

 

Step 6: Run OpenManus

Launch:

python3 main.py

 

Access: http://<public-ip>:5000 (API), http://<public-ip>:8000 (Web UI).

Troubleshooting

  • Network: Check NSG rules in the Networking tab.
  • Resource Limits: Upgrade VM size if needed.

 

Conclusion

Deploying OpenManus on Azure is efficient, leveraging GitHub’s open source access and Azure’s cloud reliability. Indian developers can start with a B2s VM and scale as required, making AI agent experimentation accessible and robust. Azure’s global reach ensures OpenManus thrives in the cloud.
