Okay I need help and here's the full context of the deal, for the past 2 days I have been trying to complete this list of instructions to install LocalAi, It's ultimate purpose was so it could work in tandem with a note-taking software application I use called obsidian, where a particular plug-in would communicate with it and I would achieve the context output I desire.
But I am completely new to all this, don't know anything about anything, all the terminology is super foreign to me, and I have been using ai to help me install it, by asking for help to simplify all the steps, now I have gotten pretty much about 75% of the way there.
Here is an overall over simplification of the steps I have been Tasked with completing:
Open your WSL terminal.
Clone the LocalAI repository:
git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI.git
Navigate to the LocalAI directory:
cd LocalAI
Build LocalAI:
make BUILD_TYPE=metal build
Start LocalAI:
./local-ai --models-path ./models/ --debug --cors
Once LocalAI is running, you can access the LocalAI API at http://localhost:8080.
Thus far I followed the instructions and along the way ended up downloading what is called Docker or Docker desktop, which I believe is something with What they are calling WSL which I recognize to be called windows subsystems for Linux, I downloaded python, I downloaded Pytorch, I downloaded something called chocolatey, git, etc.
And have been using windows like command prompt / terminal, how are shell normal and Powershell administrator, I have been lately inside the WSL window, and I completed the step where I was supposed to basically clone the Repository regarding having local AI, and now I'm at the step "Start LocalAI:" where I'm attempting to run it, but I keep running into a problem which is where I need your help today.
Some of these downloads took an awfully long which is something I am looking to avoid, one of the recommendations was to clean the repository which I did not know meant uninstall, and then I had to wait twice for the same exact result, then at the end it's still gave me an error code when I attempted to move forward and simply start LocalAI,
Here is the path Where the element I am attempting to then run/start is located:
( C:\Users\Reliable\LocalAI\api\localai )
Here is the code I was told to run inside the WSL terminal:
( ./local-ai --models-path ./models/ --debug --cors )
But when I do it just comes back "local-ai: No such file or directory"
I have been using Bard, ChatGPT and Bing to hold my hand through the process but now they are just talking in circles. What can I provide more than this to help you help me?
Here are my device details if that helps:
