Environment Setup Guide

This guide will walk you through setting up a Python environment and installing necessary packages using pip on both Windows and Ubuntu.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have Python and pip installed on your system. If you're using Windows, you'll need to download and install Python from the official website. If you're using Ubuntu, Python is usually pre-installed. You can check by opening a terminal and running:

python3 --version

If Python is not installed, you can install it using:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3

Pip is usually installed by default with Python. You can check if pip is installed by running:

pip3 --version

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository_url>
   cd <repository_name>

2. Create a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended):

   It's recommended to create a virtual environment to isolate your project dependencies.

   For Windows:

   # Install virtualenv if you haven't already
   pip install virtualenv
   
   # Create a virtual environment
   virtualenv my_env
   
   # Activate the virtual environment
   my_env\Scripts\activate

   For Ubuntu:

   # Install virtualenv if you haven't already
   sudo apt install python3-venv
   
   # Create a virtual environment
   python3 -m venv my_env
   
   # Activate the virtual environment
   source my_env/bin/activate

3. Install Python Packages:

   Inside your project directory, install the required packages using pip. You can do this by creating a requirements.txt file with the required packages and running:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install Ollama for local LLM's:

   For Ubuntu:

   sudo curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

   For Windows:

   https://ollama.com/download/windows

5. Additional Notes:

   • Make sure to replace <repository_url> and <repository_name> with the actual URL and name of your repository.
   • Using a virtual environment is recommended to avoid conflicts with system-wide Python packages.
   • You can install additional packages later using pip install <package_name> or by adding them to your requirements.txt file and running pip install -r requirements.txt.

6. For speak: sudo apt install espeak

That's it! You now have a Python environment set up and ready for your project. Happy coding!
