Welcome to the Meme.AI backend!

Introduction

This repository contains code to run our AI meme generator.

Setting up Environment

Setting up Python Environment

1. Create a virtual env virtualenv ~/memesAI
2. Activate by running source ~/memesAI/bin/activate
3. Import all the requirements from requirements.txt through pip install -r requirements.txt

Setting up Environment Variables

The meme generator requires three environment variables: WEAVIATE_URL, ACCESS_TOKEN, and OPENAI_API_KEY. These can be set manually, or you can run the script set-env-vars to set them by running source set-env-vars.

NOTE: Before running set-env-vars, please make sure to populate the variables in the script.

Running the App

The application can be run using the following command: python manage.py runserver

Testing Weaviate

If you would like to test the weaviate instance, you can run bin/weaviate_query_test.py. If the script returns two descriptions and saves two image files, one with a squirrel and one with Leonardo DiCaprio, you are good to go.
