If you own a laptop, and you have Python and a code editor such as Visual Studio Code installed, I will need you to install a few dependencies that we will need for our WhatsApp bot project for the last class.
Please run the following commands in order to install the required dependencies
- Install the OpenAI Python package (This will help us interact with ChatGPT/GPT-4)
pip3 install openai
- Install the Twilio Python package (This is required in order for our bot to send text messages via SMS/WhatsApp)
pip3 install twilio
- Install the Requests Python package (This is required in order to make miscellaneous requets)
pip3 install requests
- Install the FastAPI Python package (This is required in order to handle web requests)
pip3 install fastapi
- Install the Uvicorn Python package (This is required in order to run our web API)
pip3 install uvicorn
Note: If you're running a Unix Operating System such as MacOS or Linux, you may need to add the --break-system-packages
flag at the end of each of those commands for the installation to be successful. If you're running Windows however, you won't need to worry about that.
