Installation

Getting started with Prism is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to add Prism to your Laravel project and unlock the power of AI-driven text generation.

Requirements

Before we dive in, make sure your project meets these requirements:

• PHP 8.3 or higher
• Laravel 11.0 or higher

Step 1: Composer Installation

First, let's add Prism to your project using Composer. Open your terminal, navigate to your project directory, and run:

composer require echolabsdev/prism

This command will download Prism and its dependencies into your project.

Step 2: Publish the Configuration

Prism comes with a configuration file that you'll want to customize. Publish it to your config directory by running:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=prism-config

This will create a new file at config/prism.php. We'll explore how to configure Prism in the next section.

Step 3: Set Up Your Environment

Prism supports multiple AI providers. Depending on which one you're using, you'll need to add the appropriate API keys to your .env file. Here are examples for OpenAI and Anthropic:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here

That's it!

You've successfully installed Prism in your Laravel project. You're now ready to start generating text, using tools, and creating AI-powered applications with ease.
