Installation and Setup

Installation from Pip

You can simply do:

pip install llama-index

Installation from Source

Git clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/jerryjliu/llama_index.git. Then do:

  • pip install -e . if you want to do an editable install (you can modify source files) of just the package itself.

  • pip install -r requirements.txt if you want to install optional dependencies + dependencies used for development (e.g. unit testing).

Environment Setup

By default, we use the OpenAI GPT-3 text-davinci-003 model. In order to use this, you must have an OPENAI_API_KEY setup. You can register an API key by logging into OpenAI’s page and creating a new API token.

You can customize the underlying LLM in the Custom LLMs How-To (courtesy of Langchain). You may need additional environment keys + tokens setup depending on the LLM provider.
