### Install with pip

1. Clone git repository or download .zip file:

```commandline
git clone https://github.com/szczyglis-dev/py-gpt.git
cd py-gpt
```

2. Create a new virtual environment:

```commandline
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```

3. Install requirements:

```commandline
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

4. Run the application:

```commandline
python3 run.py
```

---

### Install with Poetry

1. Clone git repository or download .zip file:

```commandline
git clone https://github.com/szczyglis-dev/py-gpt.git
cd py-gpt
```

2. Install Poetry (if not installed):

```commandline
pip install poetry
```

3. Create a new virtual environment that uses Python 3.10:

```commandline
poetry env use python3.10
poetry shell
```

or (Poetry >= 2.0):

```commandline
poetry env use python3.10
poetry env activate
```

4. Install requirements:

```commandline
poetry install
```

5. Run the application:

```commandline
poetry run python3 run.py
```

**Tip**: you can use `PyInstaller` to create a compiled version of
the application for your system (required version >= `6.0.0`).

---

## Other requirements

For operation, an internet connection is needed (for API connectivity), a registered OpenAI account, 
and an active API key that must be input into the program. Local models, such as `Llama3` do not require OpenAI account and any API keys.

---

## Quick start

You can create your own extensions for **PyGPT** at any time.

PyGPT can be extended with:

- custom models

- custom plugins

- custom LLM wrappers

- custom vector store providers

- custom data loaders

- custom audio input providers

- custom audio output providers

- custom web search engine providers

- custom agents (LlamaIndex or OpenAI Agents)

**Examples (tutorial files)** 

See the `examples` directory in this repository with examples of custom launcher, plugin, vector store, LLM (LlamaIndex) provider and data loader:

- `examples/custom_launcher.py`

- `examples/example_audio_input.py`

- `examples/example_audio_output.py`

- `examples/example_data_loader.py`

- `examples/example_llm.py`

- `examples/example_plugin.py`

- `examples/example_vector_store.py`

- `examples/example_web_search.py`

These example files can be used as a starting point for creating your own extensions for **PyGPT**.

Extending PyGPT with custom plugins, LLMs wrappers and vector stores:

- You can pass custom plugin instances, LLMs wrappers and vector store providers to the launcher.

- This is useful if you want to extend PyGPT with your own plugins, vectors storage and LLMs.

To register custom plugins:

- Pass a list with the plugin instances as `plugins` keyword argument.

To register custom LLMs wrappers:

- Pass a list with the LLMs wrappers instances as `llms` keyword argument.

To register custom vector store providers:

- Pass a list with the vector store provider instances as `vector_stores` keyword argument.

To register custom data loaders:

- Pass a list with the data loader instances as `loaders` keyword argument.

To register custom audio input providers:

- Pass a list with the audio input provider instances as `audio_input` keyword argument.

To register custom audio output providers:

- Pass a list with the audio output provider instances as `audio_output` keyword argument.

To register custom web providers:

- Pass a list with the web provider instances as `web` keyword argument.
