Marqo Clothing Apparel Simple CLI Demo

Getting Started

  1. Download the Dataset from Clothing Dataset into the directory where the simple_marqo_demo.py script is found.

  2. Run this command inside the script directory to setup an HTTP server

    python3 -m http.server 8222
    
    This is for the marqo docker container to read files from local os. For more info on this please visit this link.

  3. Make sure to run the Marqo docker container via the following command:

    docker run --name marqo -it --privileged -p 8882:8882 --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway marqoai/marqo:latest
    

  4. Install Marqo

    pip install marqo
    

  5. Run the simple_marqo_demo.py script via the following command:

    python3 simple_marqo_demo.py
    

Code
