# 🚀 Quick Start Guide - Local Video Generator

Get up and running in 3 simple steps!

## Step 1: Install PyTorch

Choose based on your hardware:

### Option A: GPU (NVIDIA) - Recommended
```bash
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
```

### Option B: CPU Only
```bash
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio
```

## Step 2: Run the Startup Script

### On macOS/Linux:

2. Click **"🚀 Initialize Model"** (first time only, takes 2-5 minutes)
3. Enter a prompt and click **"🎬 Generate Video"**
4. Wait 30-120 seconds (GPU) or 5-10 minutes (CPU)
5. Enjoy your AI-generated video! 🎉
