Installation Guide for the DarkGPT Project

Welcome to DarkGPT! DarkGPT is your friendly artificial intelligence assistant powered by GPT-4-200K, specially designed to help you perform insightful queries on leaked databases. Whether you're setting it up for personal use or within a team, this guide will walk you through the steps to get DarkGPT up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Before we dive in, ensure you have the following:

Python Installed: Make sure Python 3.8 or a newer version is installed on your system. You can download it from the official Python website.

Environment Setup

Let's set up your development environment step by step.

1. Clone the Repository

First, you'll need to copy the DarkGPT repository to your local machine. Open your terminal and run:

git clone https://github.com/luijait/DarkGPT.git
cd DarkGPT

2. Set Up a Virtual Environment

Creating a virtual environment helps manage dependencies and keeps your project isolated. Here's how to set it up:

Create the Virtual Environment
```
python3 -m venv venv
```
Activate the Virtual Environment
- On Windows:
```
venv\Scripts\activate
```
- On macOS and Linux:
```
source venv/bin/activate
```
Once activated, your terminal prompt will change to indicate that you're working inside the virtual environment.

3. Configure Environment Variables

DarkGPT requires certain environment variables to function correctly. Follow these steps:

Copy the Example Configuration
```
cp .example.env .env
```
Edit the .env File

Open the .env file in your favorite text editor and fill in your credentials:
```
DEHASHED_API_KEY="your_dehashed_api_key_here"
DEHASHED_USERNAME="your_dehashed_username"
OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
GPT_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
```
- DeHashed API Key: Instructions to obtain your DeHashed API key are provided below.
- OpenAI API Key: Instructions to obtain your OpenAI API key are provided below.

4. Install Dependencies

With your virtual environment activated and environment variables configured, install the necessary Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run the Project

Everything is set! Start DarkGPT by running:

python3 main.py

Obtaining API Keys

DeHashed API Key

Sign Up or Log In: Visit the DeHashed website. If you don't have an account, sign up. Otherwise, log in.
Subscribe to a Plan: DeHashed offers various subscription plans. Choose one that suits your needs and complete the subscription process.
Retrieve Your API Key: After subscribing, navigate to your account settings or dashboard to find your API key under the "API" section. If you encounter any issues, refer to DeHashed's support or documentation.
Keep It Secure: Your API key grants access to your DeHashed account. Never share it publicly or expose it in any public code repositories.

OpenAI API Key

Sign Up or Log In: Go to the OpenAI website and create an account or log in if you already have one.
Access the API Key: Once logged in, navigate to your account dashboard and find the section for API keys or developer settings to obtain your key.
Understand Usage and Billing: Familiarize yourself with OpenAI's usage limits and billing policies to manage costs effectively. Monitor your API usage regularly to avoid unexpected charges.
Maintain Security: Just like your DeHashed API key, keep your OpenAI API key confidential. Do not expose it in public repositories or share it with unauthorized individuals.

General Tips for Managing API Keys

Use Environment Variables: Storing API keys in environment variables enhances security and flexibility. Avoid hard-coding them into your scripts.
Update .gitignore: Ensure that your .env file is listed in your .gitignore to prevent accidental uploads to public repositories.
Consult Official Documentation: Always refer to the official documentation of the API providers for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions on managing your keys.

By following this guide, you'll have DarkGPT set up securely and efficiently, ready to assist you in your OSINT and information gathering endeavors!
