1. Install Python

2. Install VScode and the Python extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python)

3. Clone repo in your local machine

git clone https://github.com/jstoppa/gpthackathon.git

4. Navigate to the folder

cd gpthackathon

5. Create virtual machine

python -m venv .

6. Create an environment variable called OPENAI_API_KEY and enter the API key from the OpenAI website (you can obtain them from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys)

7. Open the repo in VSCode and run the file OpenAI/openai_hello_world.py to get the virtual machine started, it will most likely throw an error saying it can't find the openai package
