🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone the Repository

   Run the following command in the terminal to clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/Dnowdd/DeepChat.git

cd DeepChat

2. Install Dependencies

   Make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine. Then, install the project dependencies by running:

npm install

3. Configuring .env

   Before running the project, check if the .env file exists at the root of the project. If it doesn't, you can create and configure it by providing information such as AI_ENDPOINT and AI_MODEL so that the system can communicate with DeepSeek.

VITE_AI_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:11434/api/generate # AI API endpoint, the ollama default is http://localhost:11434/api/generate

VITE_AI_MODEL=deepseek-r1:8b # AI model name. The project was built using deepseek-r1:8b, but you can change it to any other model

4. Run the Project

npm run dev

5. Run Deepseek

   To use DeepSeek-R1, first install Ollama. After installation, open a new terminal and execute the following command:

ollama run deepseek-r1:8b

The 8b parameter refers to a model with 8 billion parameters. The higher the number of parameters, the greater the computational resource requirements, but also the more advanced the artificial intelligence will be. For more information on available models, refer to the official DeepSeek documentation on the Ollama website.
