file with the following content: - Place the
config.py
file in theJarvis/config
folder. - Set up a Python environment:
- If using Anaconda, execute:
conda create -n jarvis python==3.8.5
in the Anaconda prompt. - Activate the environment with
conda activate jarvis
. - Navigate to your project directory and install the requirements using
pip install -r requirements.txt
. - Install PyAudio from the wheel file by following the instructions here.
- Run the program using
python main.py
. - Enjoy your new voice assistant!
weather_api_key = your_api_key
email = your_email
email_password = your_email_password
wolframalpha_id = your_wolframalpha_id
Understanding the Code Structure
The code structure of JARVIS is organized into folders, making it modular and customizable:
driver
– Main folder for featuresconfig
– For secret API keysfeatures
– Contains all JARVIS functionalitiesutils
– Holds GUI images__init__.py
– Definitions of function featuresgui.ui
– GUI file in .ui formatmain.py
– The main driver programrequirements.txt
– Lists all dependencies
Think of the code structure as a well-organized toolbox. Each compartment holds essential tools (functions) for various tasks (features), preventing chaos and ensuring easy access whenever you want to add or modify a feature.
Troubleshooting
While everything should work smoothly, you may encounter some issues. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure you have valid API keys placed in the
config.py
file. - Verify that you are using the correct Python version (3.8.5) and that all dependencies are properly installed.
- If you encounter issues with PyAudio, follow the instructions linked above carefully.
- Inspect the terminal for error messages, which can guide you to the source of the problem.
