Installation

You need a Python 3 interpreter, poetry and the inotify-tools installed. All this has been tested under Fedora Linux 38 on my laptop and Ubuntu latest in the CI workflows. Let me know if it works on your system.

Get the source code:

git clone https://github.com/flepied/second-brain-agent.git

Copy the example .env file and edit it to suit your settings:

cp example.env .env

Install the dependencies using poetry:

poetry install

There is a bug between poetry, torch and pypi, to workaround just do:

poetry run pip install torch

Then to use the created virtualenv, do:

poetry shell

systemd services

To install systemd services to manage automatically the different scripts when the operating system starts, use the following command (need sudo access):

./install-systemd-services.sh

To see the output of the md and txt services:

journalctl --unit=sba-md.service

journalctl --unit=sba-txt.service

Doing a similarity search with the vector database

./similarity.py "What is LangChain?" type=notes

Searching for new connections between notes

Use the vector store to find new conncetions between notes:

./smart_connections.py

Launching the web UI

Launch this command to access the web UI:

streamlit run second_brain_agent.py

  You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.
