### Prerequisite: API Keys

Make sure you have access to a SambaNova API Key. You can get one by visiting [SambaNova.ai](http://cloud.sambanova.ai?utm_source=llamastack&utm_medium=external&utm_campaign=cloud_signup).


## Running Llama Stack with SambaNova

You can do this via Conda (build code) or Docker which has a pre-built image.


### Via Docker

```bash
LLAMA_STACK_PORT=8321
llama stack build --template sambanova --image-type container
docker run \
  -it \
  -p $LLAMA_STACK_PORT:$LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
  -v ~/.llama:/root/.llama \
  distribution-sambanova \
  --port $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
  --env SAMBANOVA_API_KEY=$SAMBANOVA_API_KEY
```


### Via Venv

```bash
llama stack build --template sambanova --image-type venv
llama stack run --image-type venv ~/.llama/distributions/sambanova/sambanova-run.yaml \
  --port $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
  --env SAMBANOVA_API_KEY=$SAMBANOVA_API_KEY
```


### Via Conda

```bash
llama stack build --template sambanova --image-type conda
llama stack run --image-type conda ~/.llama/distributions/sambanova/sambanova-run.yaml \
  --port $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
  --env SAMBANOVA_API_KEY=$SAMBANOVA_API_KEY
```
