Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd linkedin_auto_applier

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python -m venv venv
   # On Unix or macOS
   source venv/bin/activate
   # On Windows
   .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Set up environment variables in a .env file. The LinkedIn and OpenAI credentials are required at startup:

   LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
   LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
   OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
   ENCRYPTION_KEY=<your-encryption-key>

   If LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID, LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET, or OPENAI_API_KEY are missing, the application will raise an error when launched.

2. Run the application:

   python linkedin_auto_applier/app.py

# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `.\\venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1`

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the tests
pytest
