# Streamlit
[Streamlit](https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit) lets you transform Python scripts into interactive web apps in minutes, instead of weeks. Build dashboards, generate reports, or create chat apps.
It can be quickly integrated with vLLM as a backend API server, enabling powerful LLM inference via API calls.
## Prerequisites
Set up the vLLM environment by installing all required packages:
```bash
pip install vllm streamlit openai
```
## Deploy
1. Start the vLLM server with a supported chat completion model, e.g.
```bash
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen1.5-0.5B-Chat
```
1. Use the script: <gh-file:examples/online_serving/streamlit_openai_chatbot_webserver.py>
1. Start the streamlit web UI and start to chat:
```bash
streamlit run streamlit_openai_chatbot_webserver.py
# or specify the VLLM_API_BASE or VLLM_API_KEY
VLLM_API_BASE="http://vllm-server-host:vllm-server-port/v1" \
streamlit run streamlit_openai_chatbot_webserver.py
# start with debug mode to view more details
streamlit run streamlit_openai_chatbot_webserver.py --logger.level=debug
```
