To run the Cheshire Cat, you need to have docker (instructions) and docker-compose (instructions) installed on your system.

• Create and API key on the language model provider website
• Start the app with docker-compose up inside the repository
• Open the app in your browser at localhost:1865/admin
• Configure a LLM in the Settings tab and paste you API key
• Start chatting

You can also interact via REST API and try out the endpoints on localhost:1865/docs

The first time you run the docker-compose up command it will take several minutes as docker images occupy some GBs.
