Panorama is a web application that harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to create questions, flashcards, and feedback based on user-provided content. It goes beyond just generating questions; Panorama also compiles a curated list of additional reading materials to enhance your learning experience.

Before you embark on your Panorama journey, make sure you have the following tools and services set up:

• PostgreSQL
• Redis Server
• Node.js v18.16.0
• Python v3.10.11
• AWS S3
• Google Programmable Search Console

To get started with the Panorama API, follow these steps:

1. Open your preferred terminal and navigate to the api folder:

   cd api && npm i -D
   

2. Create an .env file within the api folder and add the local database URL. Be sure to replace the environmental variables with the correct keys:

   DATABASE_URL="postgresql://{user}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{dbname}"
   REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
   JWT_TOKEN_SECRET=mysecret
   JWT_TOKEN_LIFE=900s
   JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=refreshsecret
   JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_LIFE=3600s
   API_URL=http://localhost:4000
   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myawsaccesskey
   AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=myawssecretaccesskey
   

3. Run migrations to synchronize your database with the project schema:

   npx prisma migrate dev
   

4. Ensure that the Redis server is running before starting the API:

   npm run dev
   

Setting up the Python layer is the next step in your Panorama setup:

1. In a new terminal, navigate to the python-layer folder and create a virtual environment:

   cd python-layer && python -m venv venv
   

2. Activate the virtual environment and install all the dependencies from the requirements.txt file:

   source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Create an .env file in the python-layer folder and configure it with the following details:

   REDIS_HOST=localhost
   REDIS_PORT=6379
   # Leave empty if no password
   REDIS_PASS=''
   OPENAI_KEY=your_open_ai_key
   DATABASE_URL="postgresql://{user}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{dbname}"
   API_URL=http://localhost:4000
   GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key
   GOOGLE_CSE_ID=your_google_programmable_console_id
   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myawsaccesskey
   AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=myawssecretaccesskey
   

4. Finally, run the Python layer:

   python app.py
   

The final piece of the Panorama puzzle is setting up the user interface:

1. In a new terminal, navigate to the ui folder and install all the required dependencies:

   cd ui && npm i -D
   

2. Start the application:

   npm run dev
   

With all the components set up, you are now ready to explore Panorama. Enjoy the power of AI-generated questions and curated reading materials to enhance your learning experience. Happy learning!
