## Getting Started



**1. Quick Deployment with the Litmus CLI:**

- This is the easiest way to set up Litmus.
- Make sure you have the Google Cloud SDK installed and configured with the correct project.

- Install the Litmus CLI:

  - **Linux**:
    - install:`curl https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/install/linux.sh | sudo sh`
    - binary: [https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/linux/litmus](https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/linux/litmus)
    - sha256: [https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/linux/litmus.sha256](https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/linux/litmus.sha256)
  - **OSX**:
    - install:`curl https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/install/osx.sh | sudo sh`
    - binary: [https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/osx/litmus](https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/osx/litmus)
    - sha256: [https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/osx/litmus.sha256](https://storage.googleapis.com/litmus-cloud/prod/osx/litmus.sha256)

- Deploy Litmus:
  `litmus deploy`

- Deploy the proxy service (optional):
  `litmus proxy deploy`

- **The deployment script will:**
  - Create service accounts and grant necessary permissions.
  - Deploy the worker service and the API service to Cloud Run.
  - Deploy the proxy service to Cloud Run if you choose to.

**2. Manual Setup:**

- **If you prefer manual deployment:**
  - **Set up your Google Cloud project:** Enable the required APIs (Firestore, Cloud Run, BigQuery).
  - **Deploy the worker service:** Build a Docker image for the worker service in the `worker` directory and deploy it to Cloud Run.
  - **Deploy the API service:** Build a Docker image for the API service in the `api` directory and deploy it to Cloud Run.
  - **Deploy the proxy service:** Build a Docker image for the proxy service in the `proxy` directory and deploy it to Cloud Run.
  - **Configure API settings:** Create a `api/util/settings.py` file with your Google Cloud project ID, region, and other settings.
  - **Deploy the UI:** Deploy the user interface code in the `api/ui` directory to a web server (e.g., Nginx, Apache).
  - **Connect the UI:** Configure the UI to connect to the deployed API service.

**3. Using Litmus:**

- Access the web interface.
- Create and manage test templates, defining test requests, expected responses, and LLM evaluation prompts.
- Select your desired evaluation methods in your templates (Custom LLM Evaluation, Ragas, DeepEval).
- Optionally configure your LLM client to use the proxy service.
- Submit test runs, monitor progress, and analyze the detailed results, including LLM-based assessments.
- Explore proxy data and understand your LLM usage patterns.
