You can download the latest release of ChatGPT-rs from the Releases page on GitHub. Choose the appropriate package for your operating system and follow the instructions to download and extract it to a directory of your choice.
Before you can use ChatGPT-rs, you need to obtain an OpenAI API key. To obtain an API key, follow these steps:
- Go to the OpenAI API website and sign up for an account.
- Once you have an account, go to the Dashboard and click on the "Create new secret key" button.
- Follow the instructions to create a new API key.
Once you have obtained an API key, create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add the following line. Alternatively, you can set environment variable in your system:
OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_KEY
Replace YOUR_SECRET_KEY with your actual API key.
By default, ChatGPT-rs now uses the system's default proxy settings. If you need to use a specific proxy to connect to the OpenAI API, you can add the following line to the .env file or set environment variable:
HTTP_PROXY=YOUR_PROXY_ADDRESS
Replace YOUR_PROXY_ADDRESS with your actual proxy address.
If you need to store a system message before the conversation starts, you can add the following line to the .env file or set environment variable:
SYSTEM_MESSAGE=YOUR_MESSAGE
Replace YOUR_MESSAGE with your actual system message. The first chat message will be stored as the system message.
