Install and configure llama_index on my machine.
Repository: https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index

Requirements:
1. Read the repo's README and install docs first — confirm system requirements, dependencies, and the officially supported install path. Don't guess commands.
2. Choose steps for my OS (macOS / Linux / Windows). If unsure, ask me first — no destructive operations.
3. After installing, run a minimal working example and paste the real output, so we know it actually runs.
4. Ask before you need an API key, admin rights, or a large download / significant disk usage.
5. Finally tell me in a few lines: how to start it, how to uninstall it, and where the config lives.
