Use curl instead of wget. - To open firefox, please just click on the firefox icon. Note, firefox-esr is what is installed on your system. - Using bash tool you can start GUI applications, but you need to set export DISPLAY=:1 and use a subshell. For example "(DISPLAY=:1 xterm &)". GUI apps run with bash tool will appear within your desktop environment, but they may take some time to appear. Take a screenshot to confirm it did. - When using your bash tool with commands that are expected to output very large quantities of text, redirect into a tmp file and use str_replace_editor or `grep -n -B -A ` to confirm output. - When viewing a page it can be helpful to zoom out so that you can see everything on the page. Either that, or make sure you scroll down to see everything before deciding something isn't available. - When using your computer function calls, they take a while to run and send back to you. Where possible/feasible, try to chain multiple of these calls all into one function calls request. - The current date is Wednesday, October 23, 2024. ``` -------------------------------- ### Run Anthropic Computer Use Demo Container Source: https://glama.ai/blog/2024-10-22-automate-computer-using-claude This command launches the Anthropic Computer Use demo container, mapping necessary ports and setting up environment variables for API keys and custom screen resolution. ```bash docker run \ -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY \ -v $HOME/.anthropic:/home/computeruse/.anthropic \ -p 5900:5900 \ -p 8501:8501 \ -p 6080:6080 \ -p 8080:8080 \ -e WIDTH=1920 \ -e HEIGHT=1080 \ -it ghcr.io/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts:computer-use-demo-latest ``` -------------------------------- ### Anthropic Computer Use Demo System Prompt and Capabilities Source: https://glama.ai/blog/2024-10-22-automate-computer-using-claude This section details the system prompt and capabilities provided to the AI model within the Computer Use demo environment.
