Quickstart

Run MoneyPrinter locally with an Ollama model.

1) Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/FujiwaraChoki/MoneyPrinter.git
cd MoneyPrinter

2) Quick setup (recommended)

Run the interactive setup script:

./setup.sh

This script checks dependencies, sets up .env, installs Python packages with uv, and can optionally pull an Ollama model.

3) Manual setup

Use this path if you prefer to run each step yourself.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.11+
  • uv
  • FFmpeg
  • ImageMagick
  • Ollama

Install and create env file

uv sync
cp .env.example .env

Windows PowerShell for .env copy:

Copy-Item .env.example .env

4) Configure environment

Set required values in .env:

  • TIKTOK_SESSION_ID
  • PEXELS_API_KEY

See Configuration for all variables.

Optional: Run tests

uv sync --group dev
uv run pytest

5) Start Ollama and pull a model

ollama serve
ollama pull llama3.1:8b

If Ollama runs on another machine/port, set OLLAMA_BASE_URL in .env.

6) Run backend

uv run python Backend/main.py

7) Run worker

In a new terminal:

uv run python Backend/worker.py

8) Run frontend

In a new terminal:

cd Frontend
python3 -m http.server 3000

Open http://localhost:3000.

9) Generate video

  1. Enter a video subject.
  2. Expand advanced options.
  3. Choose an Ollama model from the dropdown (loaded dynamically from Ollama).
  4. Click Generate.

Output file: output.mp4 at project root.
