Setup and Installation

To set up this project locally, follow these steps:

Cloning the repository to your local machine

  git clone https://github.com/Rahul-Baradol/phind-clone

Go to the folder named phind-clone and install the dependencies:

  cd phind-clone
  npm install

Run the development server:

  npm run dev

Here the Nextjs and FastAPI servers run concurrently. When npm run dev is run, necessary python packages will also be installed. The required python packages could be found in requirements.txt

Also make sure to rename the file .env.template to .env.local and give the following api keys QDRANT_CLOUD_ENDPOINT QDRANT_API_KEY OPENAI_API_KEY MONGODB_URI

Then hit the endpoint http://localhost:3000/api/status, to confirm if the FastAPI Server is up and running. The expected response is

{
  "status": "alive"
}

Thereafter you can go to url http://localhost:3000 to use the actual application.
