Before starting with the setup process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

1. Git
2. Python
3. PIP
4. Docker & Docker Compose
5. venv (Python Virtual Environments)
6. Node.js
7. pnpm
8. Rust (for Tauri)

1. Create Parent Folder: Create a parent folder where all the project files will be stored.

2. Clone vPrompt Repository: Clone the vPrompt repository from GitHub into the parent folder using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/reenphygeorge/vPrompt.git
   

3. Setup Python Virtual Environment:

   • Install the venv module (Python Virtual Environment) into the parent folder:

     python -m venv env
     

   • Activate the virtual environment:
     • For Linux/Mac:

       source env/bin/activate
       

     • For Windows:

       .\env\Scripts\activate
       

4. Navigate to API Folder:

   • Open your terminal or command prompt.
   • Use the cd command to navigate into the API folder within the cloned repository:

     cd vPrompt/api
     

5. Install Python Requirements:

   • Ensure that the virtual environment is active.
   • Install the required Python packages and dependencies listed in requirements.txt:

     pip install -r requirements.txt
     

6. Start Docker Containers:

   • Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed and running.
   • Navigate back to the parent folder.
   • Start the Docker containers using Docker Compose:

     docker compose up
     

   • This command will start the PostgreSQL database, Redis, and the admin panel NocoDB.

7. Setup Database Structure:

   • Once the Docker containers are running, open a new terminal window/tab.
   • Navigate back to the api directory within the cloned repository.
   • Run the following command to setup the database structure:

     prisma migrate dev --schema=prisma/schema.prisma
     

8. Start API Server:

   • Now that the Docker containers and database structure are set up, start the API server:

     uvicorn main:app --reload
     

9. Navigate to UI Folder:

   • Open a new terminal window/tab.
   • Navigate to the ui folder within the vPrompt directory using the following command:

     cd ../ui
     

10. Install UI Dependencies:

    • Install the required UI dependencies using pnpm:

      pnpm install
      

11. Start UI:

    • Once the dependencies are installed, start the UI using the following command:

      pnpm tauri dev
      

    • This command will launch the desktop application.

With the API server and UI running, you can now start using vPrompt for your video analysis needs.
