🚀 Complete Installation Guide

What You Need Before Starting

• A Computer: Windows, Mac, or Linux
• Internet Connection: For AI features and initial setup
• Microphone: Any microphone or headset for voice features
• Web Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge

Step 1: Install Python

Python is the programming language that runs JARVIS.

Windows Users:

1. Go to python.org
2. Download Python 3.8 or newer
3. Run the installer and CHECK "Add Python to PATH"
4. Click "Install Now"

Mac Users:

1. Go to python.org
2. Download Python 3.8 or newer
3. Run the installer

Linux Users:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip

Step 2: Get the JARVIS Code

1. Download the JARVIS AI Diary files to your computer
2. Extract them to a folder (like Documents/jarvis-ai-diary)
3. Remember where you put this folder!

Step 3: Get Your AI API Key

JARVIS needs access to AI services to be intelligent. You'll need an OpenRouter API key:

1. Visit OpenRouter.ai
2. Create a free account
3. Go to "Keys" section
4. Generate a new API key
5. Copy the key (it looks like: sk-or-v1-abc123...)

Cost: OpenRouter offers free credits to start, then very low costs (usually under $1 for months of diary use)

Step 4: Install Required Programs

Open Command Prompt/Terminal:

• Windows: Press Win + R, type cmd, press Enter
• Mac: Press Cmd + Space, type Terminal, press Enter
• Linux: Press Ctrl + Alt + T

Navigate to your JARVIS folder:

cd Documents/jarvis-ai-diary
# (replace with wherever you put the files)

Install Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If that doesn't work, try:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 5: Configure Your API Key

1. In your JARVIS folder, create a file called .env
2. Open it with Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac)
3. Add these lines:

SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-12345
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-actual-api-key-here

4. Replace your-actual-api-key-here with your real OpenRouter key
5. Save the file

Step 6: Install FFmpeg (Recommended for Better Audio)

FFmpeg helps with audio processing for better voice quality.

Windows (Easy Method):

winget install FFmpeg

Windows (Manual Method):

1. Go to ffmpeg.org/download.html
2. Download FFmpeg for Windows
3. Extract to C:\ffmpeg
4. Add C:\ffmpeg\bin to your system PATH

Mac:

brew install ffmpeg

Linux:

sudo apt install ffmpeg

Step 7: Run JARVIS

In your command prompt/terminal (still in the JARVIS folder):

python app.py

You should see:

* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000
* Debug mode: off

Step 8: Open JARVIS

1. Open your web browser
2. Go to: http://localhost:5000
3. You should see the JARVIS interface!

🎉 Success! JARVIS is Running

🔧 Required Environment Variables (.env file)

Create a .env file in your JARVIS folder with these settings:

# Required API Key
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-key-here

# Security Key (can be any random string)
SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-key-123

# Optional Settings
DEBUG=False
FLASK_ENV=production

Where to get your API key:

• OpenRouter API: openrouter.ai - Sign up, go to "Keys", create new key
• Cost: Free tier available, then pay-per-use (very affordable for personal diary use)
