Building and Running Locally

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-folder>

2. Install Poetry and Docker: Install Poetry >= 1.7.1 Install Docker Install Docker Compose >= 2.22

3. Set Up with Make: Run:

   make first-run

   This generates the necessary configuration files and applies database migrations.

4. Manual Configuration: If you prefer:

   • Create a configuration.yaml file based on configuration.template.yaml.
   • Replace the placeholders with your actual values.

Environment Setup for Windows/MacOS

• Windows: Follow the detailed setup provided for PowerShell and conda environment.
• MacOS: Ensure you have Xcode, Homebrew, and follow the steps to create the virtual environment.

Environment Variables

• cohere_platform.api_key (in the secrets file): Your API key for Cohere.
• database.url (in the config file): Connection string for PostgreSQL.
• redis.url (in the config file): Connection string for Redis.

   make migrate

2. Resetting the Database: If needed, reset and migrate again:

   make reset-db
   make migrate

Testing and Development

1. Install Development Dependencies:

   make install

2. Run Tests: Spin up the test DB and run tests:

   make test-db
   make run-tests

3. Database Model Changes: To make changes to the database models:

   • Create a migration with:

     make migration message="Your migration message"

   • Then migrate:

     make migrate
