## Prerequisites |
|
|
|
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system: |
|
- Git |
|
- Python 3.7 or higher |
|
- pip (Python package installer) |
|
|
|
## Installation Steps |
|
|
|
### 1. Clone the Repository |
|
**Open your terminal and run the following command to clone the G4F repository:** |
|
```bash |
|
git clone https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free.git |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### 2. Navigate to the Project Directory |
|
**Change to the project directory:** |
|
```bash |
|
cd gpt4free |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### 3. Set Up a Python Virtual Environment (Recommended) |
|
**It's best practice to use a virtual environment to manage project dependencies:** |
|
```bash |
|
python3 -m venv venv |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### 4. Activate the Virtual Environment |
|
**Activate the virtual environment based on your operating system:** |
|
- **Windows:** |
|
```bash |
|
.\venv\Scripts\activate |
|
``` |
|
|
|
- **macOS and Linux:** |
|
```bash |
|
source venv/bin/activate |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### 5. Install Dependencies |
|
**You have two options for installing dependencies:** |
|
|
|
#### Option A: Install Minimum Requirements |
|
**For a lightweight installation, use:** |
|
```bash |
|
pip install -r requirements-min.txt |
|
``` |
|
|
|
#### Option B: Install All Packages |
|
**For a full installation with all features, use:** |
|
```bash |
|
pip install -r requirements.txt |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### 6. Verify Installation |
|
You can now create Python scripts and utilize the G4F functionalities. Here's a basic example: |
|
|
|
**Create a `g4f-test.py` file in the root folder and start using the repository:** |
|
```python |
|
import g4f |
|
# Your code here |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
**After installation, you can start using G4F in your Python scripts. Here's a basic example:** |
|
```python |
|
import g4f |
|
|
|
# Your G4F code here |
|
# For example: |
|
from g4f.client import Client |
|
|
|
client = Client() |
|
|
|
response = client.chat.completions.create( |
|
model="gpt-4o-mini", |
|
messages=[ |
|
{ |
|
"role": "user", |
|
"content": "Say this is a test" |
|
} |
|
] |
|
# Add any other necessary parameters |
|
) |
|
|
|
print(response.choices[0].message.content) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting |
|
**If you encounter any issues during installation or usage:** |
|
1. Ensure all prerequisites are correctly installed. |
|
2. Check that you're in the correct directory and the virtual environment is activated. |
|
3. Try reinstalling the dependencies. |
|
4. Consult the [G4F documentation](https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free) for more detailed information. |
