Installation Steps

Step 1: Download Groq

To begin, download the latest version of Groq from the official website. You can use the following command to download it via the terminal:

Replace /path/to/groq with the actual path where you extracted Groq. After editing, run:

source ~/.bashrc

This command will refresh your terminal session to apply the changes.
