Preparation

The GPTNow API offers developers an easy-to-use interface to integrate an intelligent layer into their applications, utilizing OpenAI’s cutting-edge models. The Chat Completions endpoint, which fuels ChatGPT, allows for straightforward text input and employs a model such as GPT-4 to produce corresponding output.

Install Package #

The GPTNow API is compatible with Python, Curl, Node.js, and other languages.

Install Python #

Python is a widely-used programming language favored for its simplicity, making it ideal for data analysis, web development, and various other programming needs. OpenAI offers a specialized Python library that simplifies and streamlines working with the GPTNow API in Python.

Windows #

To install Python on Windows,

1. Download Python: Visit the official Python download page in your browser. Choose the version suited for Windows and download the installer.
2. Run the Installer: Once the download completes, launch the installer (usually an .exe file) and follow the on-screen instructions.

MacOS #

To install Python on macOS, you have a few options:

1. Official Python Website:
   • Go to the Python website.
   • Click on the “Download” button to get the latest version for macOS.
   • Double-click the downloaded .pkg file to start the Python installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Homebrew (for more advanced users):
   • Open the terminal on your macOS.
   • If you haven’t already, install Homebrew by running:
     • /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   • After installation, run:brew install python
3. IDLE (Integrated Development Environment):
   • If you’re new to Python, use the IDLE IDE (integrated development environment) that comes with the Python installation.
   • Open IDLE and explore the Help menu for Python documentation.

Remember to check your Python version using python3 --version in the terminal after installation.

Install curl #

Many operating systems come with curl pre-installed. To verify if curl is installed on your system, open your Terminal or Command Prompt and enter the following command:

curl https://gptnow.net

If curl is configured and you have an internet connection, it can send an HTTP request to retrieve the contents from “gptnow.net“.

If you encounter an error indicating that curl is not found, you can install it by following the instructions provided on the curl homepage.

Install Node.js #

Node.js is a widely-used JavaScript runtime environment often employed in web development. OpenAI offers a specialized Node.js/TypeScript library that simplifies and streamlines the process of utilizing the OpenAI API with JavaScript.

Windows #

1. Visit the official Node.js website.
2. Download the LTS (Long-Term Support) version of Node.js.
3. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
4. Once installed, you’ll have access to the node executable in the command line.

MacOS #

1. Visit the Node.js download page.
2. Download the LTS version for macOS.
3. Install it by running the installer.
4. Verify the installation by opening a terminal and typing node -v.

Linux (ubuntu) #

1. For Ubuntu, use the following command to install Node.js:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs
2. For other Linux distributions, refer to the official documentation.

Remember that Node.js comes with npm (Node Package Manager), which allows you to manage packages and dependencies for your projects.
