The script will be run in a virtual environment. Start by creating a virtual environment:
On a Mac:
python3 -m venv venv
On Windows:
python -m venv venv
After creating the virtual environment, you need to activate it:
On a Mac:
source venv/bin/activate
On Windows:
source venv/Scripts/activate
Once the virtual environment is activated, the beginning of your terminal prompt should display (venv).
Install the necessary modules by running (in both a Mac and Windows):
pip install --upgrade openai flask
To run your code, in the command line run:
Without a debugger:
flask run
With a debugger:
flask run --debug
The app will run at: http://127.0.0.1:5000/
To stop the run, click control + C. Then hard refresh the page. When making changes to your Python, HTML, or JavaScript code (and not using debugger) you'll need to stop the run after each change.
When finished, quit the run by clicking control + C and close the virtual environment by running:
deactivate
