🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup Guide (UV Package Manager)

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Tridib2510/cheat-code.git
cd cheat-code

---

Step 2: Install Dependencies Using UV

uv install

This will automatically create an isolated environment and install all required dependencies.

---

Step 3: Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project:

touch .env

Add the following variables to the .env file:

CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloudinary_cloud_name
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_cloudinary_api_key
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_cloudinary_api_secret

GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key

🔑 Get API Keys From

• Cloudinary Console → https://cloudinary.com/console
• Groq Console → https://console.groq.com

---

Step 4: Run the Application with UV

uv run main.py

This ensures your project runs inside the UV-managed environment with all dependencies loaded.
