Thanks for looking into contributing In practice I never use the dev agent I always use a regular prefect agent

Peyton Runyan · Answer

if you create a virtual environment move to the root of the forked prefect directory then run `pip install e dev ` then start an agent using that virtual environment you should be good to go

Thanks for your reply As I mentioned above I use the python virtual environment using `python m venv xxxxxxxxxx` and `git clone` then `pip install e dev ` I got the error in the link I pasted above Seems like some bugs when I use `prefect dev api` and `prefect dev ui` it works when I use `prefect dev start` and `prefect dev agent` it failed So I guess it s `prefect dev agent` that caused the error
