CLI 1: Setting Up The Environment

[00:00] For the next part of the project, we're going to be using the terminal or command prompt. If you're new to using the terminal, it can look pretty intimidating. It's actually not that bad. And to help you along, I've created a file over here called terminalcommands.md.

[00:17] And I've pasted in all of the commands we're using in this scrim, so you can refer to that quickly and easily if you need to. Now, to open the command prompt in Windows, you can use the Windows key plus S and enter CMD in the search field. On MacBook, it should be right there in the launcher.

[00:33] And, of course, in either case, you could use the terminal in VS Code. Now, I've got the terminal open, and the open AI tool that we're going to use requires Python 3. Now, if you've already got Python 3 installed, then you're good to go. If you've never used Python before and you're starting to freak out, don't worry. We're not coding in Python.

[00:52] It's just needed in the background to run open AI's tools. Now, you can check to see if you've got Python 3 installed with this command. So it's just Python 3 dash dash version. And when I hit enter, it tells me that I've got Python 3.11.1.

[01:09] Now, if you haven't got Python installed, you can click on this slide, and that is going to take you to the official Python site. Or if you're on Mac, you can use Homebrew. Or if you're on Linux, you can probably get Python from your distros repository. Check their docs for details.

[01:25] Now, in a moment, we're also going to need the pip package manager. If you have Python installed, you probably already have pip, and you can check by doing pip dash dash version. And that tells me that I have got pip installed. If for some reason you haven't got pip installed, this command right here,

[01:43] python3-m ensure pip dash dash upgrade will install the latest version. Okay, now we should be good to go. So let's install the OpenAI CLI using pip install dash dash upgrade OpenAI. That should install the OpenAI tool,

[02:01] and you can check that by running the OpenAI command, and that should give you a list of commands that are specific to this OpenAI tool. Now, there's one more thing I want to do. The fine-tune model we create is going to be specific to us. Only we can use it. So the OpenAI tool will need our API key.

[02:20] We don't need that to prepare the data, but we will need it before we upload, so we might as well do it right now. You can add the OpenAI key with this command. It's basically export and then everything that we've got in this env.js file in this line of code right here.

[02:36] But be sure to swap out this colon for an equals. Now, when you've done that, press Enter, and you're not going to get any special acknowledgment that your key's been accepted. Just assume it has been. And now with all of that set up complete, we're ready to work with the data separation tool. So let's get stuck into that next.
