Prerequisite: API Keys

Make sure you have access to a watsonx API Key. You can get one by referring watsonx.ai.

Running Llama Stack with watsonx

You can do this via venv or Docker which has a pre-built image.

Via Docker

This method allows you to get started quickly without having to build the distribution code.
