Before proceeding with this guide, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:

• You should have at least one NVIDIA GPU.

  • NVIDIA driver version 535 or newer. To check the driver version run: nvidia-smi --query-gpu=driver_version --format=csv,noheader.
  • If you are running multiple GPUs they must all be set to the same mode (ie Compute vs. Display). You can check compute mode for each GPU using nvidia-smi -q -d compute

• Docker and Docker-Compose are essential. Please follow the installation instructions.

    Note:
        Please do **not** use Docker that is packaged with Ubuntu as the newer version of Docker is required for proper Docker Compose support.
  
        Make sure your user account is able to execute Docker commands.
  

• NVIDIA Container Toolkit is also required. Refer to the installation instructions.

• NGC Account and API Key

  • Please refer to instructions to create an account

  Once your account has been created:

  • Navigate to https://build.nvidia.com/meta/llama3-70b?api-key=true
  • Click "Get API Key" and follow the instructions to generate your API key

• git-lfs

  • Make sure you have git-lfs installed.

• Follow the above instructions to get access to an API key.

• Modify compose.env to set your environment variables. The following variable is required.

  export NVIDIA_API_KEY="nvapi-*"

• Pull lfs files. This will pull large files from repository.

      git lfs pull
  

• Run the following command to build containers.

      source community/rag-developer-chatbot/compose.env;   docker compose -f community/rag-developer-chatbot/docker-compose-dev-rag.yaml build
  

• Run the following command to start containers.

       source community/rag-developer-chatbot/compose.env;   docker compose -f community/rag-developer-chatbot/docker-compose-dev-rag.yaml up -d
  

  ⚠️ NOTE: It will take a few minutes for the containers to come up. Adding the -d flag will have the services run in the background. ⚠️

The notebooks will run on a local JupyterServer on port 8888 (http://localhost:8888)
