If you select one of the vendors (like Similarly for the others. You can have multiple vendors defined. In my case, I have a shit-ton of them. Once you have them set up, you can use Feel free to ask any other questions.

Kayvan –
Long delayed reply but I finally was able to get an OpenAI API and Jina key a few days ago:
- When trying to do #16 I see the following (attachment) – When adding the Default vendor it asks for the default directory path for OpenAI – I’m not sure what that is? But it obviously isn’t correct.
- It seems like Ollama got set up by default. I didn’t set it up but it shows as configured. Is that correct? Because whatever was added in the .env file isn’t correct.
- Just since today (after having done the configurations) fabric-windows-amd64.exe … When I execute it, a command window flashes up and closes. I just see the flicker of the window. I tried to execute older versions but it does exactly the same thing. Any idea where I could look to troubleshoot that? Are there log files anywhere? The .config directory structure exists and when I was doing configurations earlier it was adding the appropriate directories there.
- I attached the .env file if that helps
I can see how busy you are from the constant stream of updates. I really appreciate your hard work.
Thanks
Anthony

Today's featured article on Wikipedia highlights Malcolm X, an African-American Muslim minister, public speaker, and human rights activist known for advocating for the rights of African Americans and criticizing white America. He was involved in criminal activities before joining the Nation of Islam while in prison and later became a Sunni Muslim after leaving the organization. Malcolm X founded Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro-American Unity before being assassinated in 1965.

I have been trying for 5 days to install Fabric [Win 11 64 bit] ; WSL ; Zorin OS on laptop ; Mint on VirtualBox. Everywhere I go I hit barriers. Honestly the instructions are ... well ... lacking a lot of detail. They assume a lot of pre-requisites, foundational knowledge and/or experience I don't have or don't know about. However ...
I.E. Fabric setup asks for parameters (AI Vendors and Tool) which have ZERO explanation. Is there anywhere that explains what all these are and how to supply them to fabric? Only supply one at a time? Supply one of each? Can supply multiple parameters? What specifically do the tool parameters mean? Is it necessary to run fabric setup for multiple parameters separately? E.g. If you want to setup Fabric to Anthropic AND OpenAI do I have to run setup twice? Or it will only run with one vendor at a time? And so on.
I get AI Vendors - I assume that means the AI engines for which one has an API key of some sort that can be supplied. But the Tools parameter is confusing.
I was so amazed by what this product is shown to do, but 5 days of beating my head against the wall simply trying to get it installed and running has been demoralizing. I'm hoping somebody here can help. My goal is to be able to utilize fabric and eventually to be able to contribute if I can.
Any help greatly appreciated.
