### Setup Environment

Install necessary packages to set up and test endpoint handler.

```
# install git-lfs to interact with the repository
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-lfs
# install transformers (not needed for inference since it is installed by default in the container)
pip install transformers[sklearn,sentencepiece,audio,vision]
```

Clone model weights of interest.

```
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/tykiww/llama3-8b-quantized
```

Login to huggingface

```
# setup cli with token
huggingface-cli login
git config --global credential.helper store
```

Confirm login in case you are unsure.

```
huggingface-cli whoami
```

Navigate to repo and create a handler.py file

```
cd llama3-8b-bnb-4bit-lora #&& touch handler.py
```

Create a requirements.txt file with the following items

```
