Installation

Follow the instructions below to run the Streamlit server locally.

Pre-requisites

Make sure you have Python ≥3.10 installed.

Steps

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/mmz-001/knowledge_gpt
cd knowledge_gpt

2. Install dependencies with Poetry and activate virtual environment

poetry install
poetry shell

3. (Optional) Avoid adding the OpenAI API every time you run the server by adding it to environment variables.
   • Make a copy of .env.example named .env
   • Add your API key to the .env file

Note: Make sure you have a paid OpenAI API key for faster completions and to avoid hitting rate limits.
