AgenticOS requirements and prerequisites
Updated May 31, 2026, 02:21 PM
What you need before you start
AgenticOS is an open-source, self-hosted TypeScript/Bun framework for building autonomous X (Twitter) agents, so you run it on your own infrastructure. To run it, you need the following:
- Bun Runtime (v1.0 or newer)
- Twitter API credentials (OAuth 2.0)
- A ChainGPT API key
- ChainGPT credits
Notes on each requirement
- Bun Runtime: AgenticOS is written in TypeScript and powered by the Bun runtime, so Bun v1.0 or newer is required.
- Twitter API credentials (OAuth 2.0): You need a Twitter developer account and properly configured X/Twitter credentials so the agent can post on your behalf. OAuth 2.0 tokens are AES-encrypted and refreshed automatically so the agent runs uninterrupted and securely.
- ChainGPT API key: Required for AI content generation via the ChainGPT API.
- ChainGPT credits: Generation consumes credits at a rate of 1 credit per generated tweet.
