QuickStart

Note

Make sure you have Docker installed

On Mac OS or Linux, write:

./setup.sh

It will install all the dependencies and allow you to download the local model, use OpenAI or use our LLM API.

Otherwise, refer to this Guide:

1. Download and open this repository with git clone https://github.com/arc53/DocsGPT.git

2. Create a .env file in your root directory and set the env variables and VITE_API_STREAMING to true or false, depending on whether you want streaming answers or not. It should look like this inside:

   LLM_NAME=[docsgpt or openai or others] 
   VITE_API_STREAMING=true
   API_KEY=[if LLM_NAME is openai]
   

   See optional environment variables in the /.env-template and /application/.env_sample files.

3. Run ./run-with-docker-compose.sh.

4. Navigate to http://localhost:5173/.

To stop, just run Ctrl + C.

Development Environments

Spin up Mongo and Redis

For development, only two containers are used from docker-compose.yaml (by deleting all services except for Redis and Mongo). See file docker-compose-dev.yaml.

Run

docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml build
docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml up -d

Run the Backend

Note

Make sure you have Python 3.10 or 3.11 installed.

1. Export required environment variables or prepare a .env file in the project folder:
   • Copy .env_sample and create .env.

(check out application/core/settings.py if you want to see more config options.)

2. (optional) Create a Python virtual environment: You can follow the Python official documentation for virtual environments.

a) On Mac OS and Linux

python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate

b) On Windows

python -m venv venv
 venv/Scripts/activate

3. Download embedding model and save it in the model/ folder: You can use the script below, or download it manually from here, unzip it and save it in the model/ folder.

wget https://d3dg1063dc54p9.cloudfront.net/models/embeddings/mpnet-base-v2.zip
unzip mpnet-base-v2.zip -d model
rm mpnet-base-v2.zip

4. Install dependencies for the backend:

pip install -r application/requirements.txt

5. Run the app using flask --app application/app.py run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=7091.
6. Start worker with celery -A application.app.celery worker -l INFO.

Start Frontend

Note

Make sure you have Node version 16 or higher.

1. Navigate to the /frontend folder.
2. Install the required packages husky and vite (ignore if already installed).

npm install husky -g
npm install vite -g

3. Install dependencies by running npm install --include=dev.
4. Run the app using npm run dev.
