ImgGen Backend

Intro

A Spring application that serves as the backend for the angular frontend. This serves as a customized intermediate between the angular frontend and OpenAI/Stability AI servers.

Install the following

Maven - https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Put your OpenAI key in a file named bmc.env in the same folder as this README. The structure of the bmc.env file is :-
