MistralCLI - Rust CLI for Mistral AI API

This project has no affiliation with Mistral AI.

MistralCLI is a simple open source command-line interface (CLI) written in Rust that allows you to easily interact with the Mistral AI API.

Prerequisites

• Rust: You can install Rust by following the instructions on the official website: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started.

Usage

Before you can interact with the API, you need to set your Mistral API key.

Setting Your Mistral API Key

1. Obtain a Mistral API key from the Mistral website: https://mistral.ai
2. Add your API key to your shell environment. You can do this by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile on Mac) file: export MISTRAL_API_KEY=your-api-key
3. To apply the changes, either restart your shell session or run the following command: source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.bash_profile on Mac

Installation

1. Clone the MistralCLI repository to your local machine using Git: git clone https://github.com/aumbriac/MistralCLI
2. Enter the directory: cd MistralCLI
3. Test the project locally using Cargo (Rust's package manager): cargo run What is the meaning of life?
4. Build the executable: cargo build
5. Copy the executable to a directory in your system's PATH to make it easily accessible:
   • Windows: You can copy it to a directory listed in your system's Path environment variable, such as C:\Windows\System32.
   • Mac: You can copy it to /usr/local/bin/ using the following command: sudo cp target/release/mistral /usr/local/bin/

Using MistralCLI

Now that you have the MistralCLI installed on your system, you can use it directly from within your shell environment.

• Example usage: mistral What is the meaning of life?

Note: mistral-tiny is the default model, but you can use either mistral-small or mistral-medium by specifying an optional -m flag with the model suffix: mistral -m medium What is the meaning of life?
