Put this folder in static

Step 2: Install all the requirements:

Use the requirements.txt file to install all packages as follows:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Optionally, you can accomplish this by creating a seperate conda environment:

conda create -n ref2vec python=3.9
conda activate ref2vec
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Now Initialize Weaviate by running these commands:

cd weaviate-init
docker-compose up -d
python3 create-schema.py
python3 upload-data.py

Step 4: Run the app

Now you are all set!

Navigate out of the weaviate-init folder like this and start the FastAPI app!

cd ..
uvicorn main:app --reload

The app is now running on localhost:8000
