Dans cette section je ne décrirais que l’installation de LLAMA sous windows, cependant vous avez le lien du site web pour d’autres installations.

Windows

Step 1. Install Visual Studio

On windows, you need to install Visual Studio before installing Dalai.

Press the button below to visit the Visual Studio downloads page and download:

Download Microsoft Visual Studio

IMPORTANT!!!

When installing Visual Studio, make sure to check the 3 options as highlighted below:

  1. Python development
  2. Node.js development
  3. Desktop development with C++

Step 2.1. Install models

IMPORTANT

On Windows, make sure to run all commands in cmd.

DO NOT run in powershell. Powershell has unnecessarily strict permissions and makes the script fail silently.

Currently supported engines are llama and alpaca.

Install alpaca

To download alpaca models. Open your cmd application and enter:

npx dalai alpaca install 7B

Add llama models

To download llama models. Open your cmd application and enter:

npx dalai llama install 7B

or to download multiple models:

npx dalai llama install 7B 13B

Step 2.2. Troubleshoot (optional)

In case above steps fail, try installing Node.js and Python separately.

Install Python:

Download Python

Install Node.js >= 18:

Download Node.js

After both have been installed, open powershell and type python to see if the application exists. And also type node to see if the application exists as well.

Once you’ve checked that they both exist, try again.

Step 3. Run Web UI

After everything has been installed, run the following command to launch the web UI server (Make sure to run in cmd and not powershell!):

npx dalai serve

and open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. Have fun!
