How to set up 💻

1. Have a Rocket.Chat server ready. If you don't have a server, see this guide.
2. Install the Rocket.Chat Apps Engline CLI.

     npm install -g @rocket.chat/apps-cli
   

   Verify if the CLI has been installed

   rc-apps -v
   # @rocket.chat/apps-cli/1.4.0 darwin-x64 node-v10.15.3
   

3. Clone the GitHub Repository

   git clone https://github.com/RocketChat/Apps.Chat.Summarize.git

4. Navigate to the repository

   cd Apps.Chat.Summarize

5. Install app dependencies

  cd app && npm install

6. To install private Rocket.Chat Apps on your server, it must be in development mode. Enable Apps development mode by navigating to Administration > General > Apps and turn on "Enable development mode".
7. Deploy the app to the server

rc-apps deploy --url <server_url> --username <username> --password <password>

• If you are running server locally, server_url is http://localhost:3000. If you are running in another port, change the 3000 to the appropriate port.
• username is the username of your admin user.
• password is the password of your admin user.
8. Open the App, by navigating to Administration > Marketplace > Private Apps. You should see the app listed there. Click on the App name to open the app.
9. Select the Settings tab and enter the LLM API Host URL. This is the URL of the LLM API you want to use. For example, if you are using OpenAI's GPT-3.5, the URL would be https://api.openai.com . If you are using a different LLM, enter the appropriate URL. Without any suffixes.
10. If the LLM provider requires an API key, enter the API key in the API Key field. This is required for authentication with the LLM provider. Local deployments usually don't require an API key.
