 # rag-tutorial-v2
+
+This repository is a starter guide for learning how to use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Ollama. Follow the steps below to set up and run the project.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have the following installed:
+- Python 3.8 or higher
+- pip (Python package installer)
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+    ```sh
+    git clone <repository-url>
+    cd rag-tutorial-v2
+    ```
+
+2. Install the required Python packages:
+    ```sh
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    ```
+
+## Setting Up the Database
+
+1. Place your PDF documents in the [data](http://_vscodecontentref_/0) directory.
+
+2. Populate the database with the documents:
+    ```sh
+    python populate_database.py --reset
+    ```
+
+## Querying the Database
+
+To query the database, run the [query_data.py](http://_vscodecontentref_/1) script with your query text:
+```sh
+python query_data.py "Your query text here"
+```
+## Project Structure
+
+- `__pycache__/`: Directory containing Python bytecode files.
+- `.gitignore`: Git ignore file to specify untracked files to ignore.
+- `chroma/`: Directory containing the Chroma database files.
+  - `77943a61-1aef-45fe-af55-a29fb829e25b/`: Subdirectory for Chroma database.
+  - `chroma.sqlite3`: SQLite database file for Chroma.
+- `data/`: Directory to store PDF documents.
+- `get_embedding_function.py`: Script to get the embedding function.
+- `populate_database.py`: Script to populate the Chroma database with documents.
+- `query_data.py`: Script to query the Chroma database.
+- `README.md`: This README file.
+- `requirements.txt`: List of required Python packages.
+- `test_rag.py`: Script to run tests on the RAG setup.
