Installation

In order to ensure compatibility and stability, this project uses specific versions of libraries, tailored for Python version 3.9.12. Given the rapid advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI frameworks, this version locking helps maintain a consistent and error-free environment.

There is a requirements.txt file that contains all of the dependencies for the project. To install them, run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you would prefer to use a virtual environment, you can create one with the following command:

python -m venv venv

Then, activate the virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate

Finally, install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
