Quick "Getting Started"

Quick Steps

In summary,
for installing/getting setup,
  • Get a Groq API key (see below)
  • Purchase and download the installer.
  • Run the installer in the command line.
    • 
          $ ./clichat-installer.sh
      
    • Follow the prompts. The only information you need in hand is your Groq API key.
To run,
  • Activate the Python virtual environment you created. For example, if you are on the directory in which you created the virtual environment, venv (it's just a subdirectory), then run
    
        $ source ./venv/bin/activate
    
  • Run the CLIChat command from anywhere.
    
        $ clichat
    
  • Type
    .exit
    to exit CLIChat.
