Talk to LLMs with easy code context. Choose files through UI.

Before installation, ensure you have the following software installed on your system:

• Git: For cloning the project repositories.
• Node.js and npm (or yarn): For managing and installing dependencies. Ensure your node version is at least 18.
• Serve: For running the frontend in development mode. (If you don't have serve installed, run npm install -g serve)

It's a self hosted web app. Below are the steps to get started -

1. Download the clone.sh script

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Creator-AI/The-Creator-AI/main/clone.sh

2. Make clone.sh executable

chmod  x clone.sh

3. Run the clone.sh Script:

sudo ./clone.sh --tag v0.3.0

This script will handle the following:

• Clone the necessary repositories (frontend, backend, and common).
• Install all dependencies.
• Build the common package & frontend and backend projects.
• Create a convenient 'creator' command for launching the application.

Once the installation is complete, you can start The Creator AI by simply typing:

1. Set Gemini API key/OpenAI API key

export GEMINI_API_KEY=... # export OPENAI_API_KEY=...

2. Launch creator

creator .

This will launch both the frontend and backend, and open the application in your default web browser.

Note: You can provide which directory to load as argument to creator command - creator <directory>

Re-run the clone.sh Script:

sudo ./clone.sh --tag v0.3.0

This will update the repositories, install new dependencies (if any), and rebuild the project.

The clone.sh script is only tested on Mac so far, will be testing & supporting other platforms with time. Meanwhile, you can follow these steps to get the setup ready manually -

git clone https://github.com/The-Creator-AI/fe-be-common.git
git clone https://github.com/The-Creator-AI/frontend.git
git clone https://github.com/The-Creator-AI/backend.git

1. Install common dependencies:

   cd ./fe-be-common       # <-----------------  Dependency for frontend & backend both, must be kept adjacent to those
   npm install
   npm run build           

2. Install backend dependencies:

   cd ./backend
   npm install
   npm run build
   export GEMINI_API_KEY=... # export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
   node dist/main.js       # <-----------------   BACKEND

3. Install frontend dependencies:

   cd ./frontend
   npm install
   npm run build
   cd build
   serve -s                # <-----------------   FRONTEND

The steps above run the latest code. To run a specific release, checkout the tag for that release (in every repo). Latest stable tag is v0.3.0.

git fetch --all --tags
git checkout --force "tags/v0.3.0"
