1. Set up a virtual environment called .venv in your project, follow these steps:

   • Open a terminal or command prompt.

   • Navigate to the root directory of your project.

   • Check if a virtual environment named .venv already exists by running the following command:

     ls .venv

     If the command returns a result, it means the virtual environment already exists.

   • If the virtual environment doesn't exist, create it by running the following command:

     python3 -m venv .venv

   • Activate the virtual environment by running the appropriate command based on your operating system:

     • For macOS/Linux:

     source .venv/bin/activate

     • For Windows:

     .venv\Scripts\activate

     Once activated, you should see the name of the virtual environment ((.venv)) in your terminal prompt.

   • You can now install any required dependencies or packages within the virtual environment.

     • pip install llmware
     • pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run the Flask Server Run python3 -m app in this directory

Remember to activate the virtual environment every time you work on your project to ensure that you are using the correct Python environment.
