# Data query example This example makes use of [Llama-Index](https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/installation.html) to enable question answering on a set of documents. It loosely follows [the quickstart](https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/primer/usage_pattern.html). Summary of the steps: - prepare the dataset (and store it into `data`) - prepare a vector index database to run queries on - run queries ## Requirements You will need a training data set. Copy that over `data`. ## Setup Start the API: ```bash # Clone LocalAI git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI cd LocalAI/examples/query_data wget https://huggingface.co/skeskinen/ggml/resolve/main/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -O models/bert wget https://gpt4all.io/models/ggml-gpt4all-j.bin -O models/ggml-gpt4all-j # start with docker-compose docker-compose up -d --build ``` ### Create a storage In this step we will create a local vector database from our document set, so later we can ask questions on it with the LLM. Note: **OPENAI_API_KEY** is not required. However the library might fail if no API_KEY is passed by, so an arbitrary string can be used. ```bash export OPENAI_API_BASE=http://localhost:8080/v1 export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk- python store.py ``` After it finishes, a directory "storage" will be created with the vector index database. ## Query We can now query the dataset. ```bash export OPENAI_API_BASE=http://localhost:8080/v1 export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk- python query.py ``` ## Update To update our vector database, run `update.py` ```bash export OPENAI_API_BASE=http://localhost:8080/v1 export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk- python update.py ```
