Environment Setup

Also, ensure the following environment variables are set:

• VECTARA_CUSTOMER_ID

Usage

To use this package, you should first have the LangChain CLI installed:

pip install -U langchain-cli

To create a new LangChain project and install this as the only package, you can do:

langchain app new my-app --package rag-vectara

If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:

langchain app add rag-vectara

And add the following code to your server.py file:

from rag_vectara import chain as rag_vectara_chain

add_routes(app, rag_vectara_chain, path="/rag-vectara")

(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith. LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications. You can sign up for LangSmith here. If you don't have access, you can skip this section

export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project>  # if not specified, defaults to "vectara-demo"

If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:

langchain serve

This will start the FastAPI app with a server is running locally at http://localhost:8000
