conda activate paper2all
```

### 3. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 4. Install System Dependencies

**Ubuntu/Debian:**

## API Configuration

Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following credentials:

### Required API Keys

**Option 1: OpenAI API**
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
```

**Option 2: OpenRouter API** (alternative to OpenAI)
```
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_openrouter_api_key_here
```

### Optional API Keys

**Google Search API** (for automatic logo discovery)
```
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key_here
GOOGLE_CSE_ID=your_custom_search_engine_id_here
```

## Model Configuration

The system supports multiple LLM backends:

### Supported Models
- GPT-4 (recommended for best quality)
- GPT-4.1 (latest version)
- GPT-3.5-turbo (faster, lower cost)
- Claude models via OpenRouter
- Other OpenRouter-supported models

### Model Selection

Specify models using the `--model-choice` parameter or `--model_name_t` and `--model_name_v` parameters:
- Model choice 1: GPT-4 for all components
- Model choice 2: GPT-4.1 for all components
- Custom: Specify separate models for text and visual processing

## Verification

Test the installation:

```bash
python pipeline_all.py --help
```

If successful, you should see the help menu with all available options.

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**1. LibreOffice not found**
- Ensure LibreOffice is installed and in your system PATH
- Try running `libreoffice --version` to verify

**2. Poppler utilities not found**
- Verify installation with `pdftoppm -v`
- Add Poppler bin directory to PATH if needed

**3. GPU/CUDA errors for video generation**
- Ensure NVIDIA drivers are up to date
- Verify CUDA toolkit is installed
- Check GPU memory with `nvidia-smi`

**4. API key errors**
- Verify `.env` file is in the project root
- Check that API keys are valid and have sufficient credits
- Ensure no extra spaces or quotes around keys in `.env`
