# LiteLLM & Cline (using Codestral)

> Learn how to set up and run LiteLLM with Cline using the Codestral model. This guide covers Docker setup, configuration, and integration with Cline.

### Using LiteLLM with Cline

This guide demonstrates how to run a demo for LiteLLM starting with the Codestral model for use with Cline.

#### Prerequisites

* [Docker CLI or Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/get-started/) installed to run the LiteLLM image locally
* For this example config: A Codestral API Key (different from the Mistral API Keys)

#### Setup

1. **Create a `.env` file and fill in the appropriate field**

   ```bash theme={"system"}
   # Tip: Use the following command to generate a random alphanumeric key:
   # openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9' | head -c 32
   LITELLM_MASTER_KEY=YOUR_LITELLM_MASTER_KEY
   CODESTRAL_API_KEY=YOUR_CODESTRAL_API_KEY
   ```

   *Note: Although this is limited to localhost, it's a good practice set LITELLM\_MASTER\_KEY to something secure*

2. **Configuration**

   We'll need to create a `config.yaml` file to contain our LiteLLM configuration. In this case we'll just have one model, 'codestral-latest' and label it 'codestral'

   ```yaml theme={"system"}
   model_list:
       - model_name: codestral
         litellm_params:
             model: codestral/codestral-latest
             api_key: os.environ/CODESTRAL_API_KEY
   ```

#### Running the Demo

1. **Startup the LiteLLM docker container**

   ```bash theme={"system"}
   docker run \
       --env-file .env \
       -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml \
       -p 127.0.0.1:4000:4000 \
       ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:main-latest \
       --config /app/config.yaml --detailed_debug
   ```

2. **Setup Cline**

   Once the LiteLLM server is up and running you can set it up in Cline:

   * Base URL should be `http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1`
   * API Key should be the one you set in `.env` for LITELLM\_MASTER\_KEY
   * Model ID is `codestral` or whatever you named it under `config.yaml`
