## Build and Run
|
|
|
|
You can run your own API server in just a few lines of setup!
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have installed Python (3.8 or higher), then simply issue:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/uav4geo/LibreTranslate
|
|
cd LibreTranslate
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
python main.py [args]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then open a web browser to http://localhost:5000
|
|
|
|
### Run with Docker
|
|
|
|
Simply run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -ti --rm -p 5000:5000 libretranslate/libretranslate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then open a web browser to http://localhost:5000
|
|
|
|
### Build with Docker
|
|
|
|
Make sure you cloned the `models` submodule before building the Docker image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker build -t libretranslate .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the built image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -it -p 5000:5000 libretranslate [args]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or build and run using `docker-compose`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose up -d --build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Feel free to change the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/uav4geo/LibreTranslate/blob/main/docker-compose.yml) file to adapt it to your deployment needs, or use an extra `docker-compose.prod.yml` file for your deployment configuration.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The API on libretranslate.com should be used for testing, personal or infrequent use. If you're going to run an application in production, please [get in touch](https://uav4geo.com/contact) to discuss options.
