Installation process

[vladimircezar]

The client installation process is not working for me.
After trying to go through the Quickstart (and verifying the $PATH) I keep receiving zsh: no such file or directory

Then I tried using the READ.ME (which contains a slightly different set of steps) and still could not make the client run.

Can someone give a hint on what needs to be done?

In the section Installing the server

The command:

echo 'alias fabric-server="/the/path/to/fabric/server/fabric-api"' >> ~/.bashrc

Should probably state:

echo 'alias fabric-api="/the/path/to/fabric/server/fabric-api"' >> ~/.bashrc

The text:

PS: fabric-api and fabric-webui need to be run in dictinct terminal windows.

Should probably state:

PS: fabric-api and fabric-webui need to be run in distinct terminal windows.

In the section Create your own Fabric Mill

The file /client/standalone_client_examples does not exist.

The link /client/standalone_client_examples does not work.

I have fabric-api up-and-running on http://127.0.0.1:13337

1. How do I interface with it?
2. How and where do I add patterns?

I have fabric-webui up-and-running on http://127.0.0.1:13338

1. How and where do I add patterns?
2. How do I solve the following error message?

If I use the web interface for fabric-webui, with "This is a test" for Content and use "/extwis" for API, I get the following error messages when I hit Send Request:

KeyError: 'token'

[Foxur]

Any updates for the KeyError? My session seems not existing <NullSession {}>.
Any other option to make an Authentication manuly by hardcoding a token for the session?

[danielmiessler]

So you have to use the standalone fabric client to hit these, and the patterns are in the server code itself. They're hardcoded into the server. So that's where you edit them.

[protteveel]

In the file fabric_api_server.py, I see the following patterns:

pattern_path_mappings = {
    "extwis": {"system_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielmiessler/fabric/main/patterns/extract_wisdom/system.md",
               "user_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielmiessler/fabric/main/patterns/extract_wisdom/user.md"},
    "summarize": {"system_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielmiessler/fabric/main/patterns/summarize/system.md",
                  "user_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielmiessler/fabric/main/patterns/summarize/user.md"}
} # Add more pattern with your desire path as a key in this dictionary

1. However, in the Web Gui, it only shows the extwis pattern; not the summarize pattern. How to fix this?
2. Additionally, I would like to use the patterns on my local machine, provided by my own fabric server. Can you explain how to do that?

[nic0711]

Maybe we could share the /pattern folder across the system?
Redundant, hard coded patterns seems hard to maintain and update. Just my 5cts.

[jmatthewpryor]

It also seems like there is some login/register protocol on the server (register a user, login with a username/password) to set a JWT token, but the web ui code seems to fail because there is no JWT?

[nic0711]

Poetry recommends the use of a dedicated env...

I use conda for different envs, so fabric will not be available without changing the env.

what are your experience's?
