Setup

hammer

As with any project, the first step is setting up your environment. Let's get started by ensuring you have a project structure ready to work with.

Important

Since this is an intermediate-level course, please ensure you've gone through the Griptape Setup course to set up your environment. We will be starting from the code at that point.

Create a Project

Following the instructions in Griptape Setup - Visual Studio Code please:

  1. Create your project folder. Example: griptape-image-pipeline
  2. Set up your virtual environment
  3. Ensure you pip install griptape python-dotenv

  4. Create a .env file with your OPENAI_API_KEY

    Tip

    If you are using Leonardo.Ai or Stable Diffusion on Amazon Bedrock, be sure to set the appropriate environment variables in the .env file as well.

  5. Create your app.py file with the following code:

app.py
1
2
3
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv() # Load your environment

Next Steps

Your environment is all set up! In the next section, we will dive into the concepts of Griptape Pipelines.
