## Installation

To get started with Repochat, you'll need to follow these installation steps:

1. Create a virtual environment and activate on your local machine to isolate the project's dependencies.
   ```bash
   python -m venv repochat-env
   source repochat-env/bin/activate
   ```

2. Clone the Repochat repository and navigate to the project directory.
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/pnkvalavala/repochat.git
   cd repochat
   ```

3. Install the required Python packages using `pip`.
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

4. Install the "llama-cpp-python" library.
    ### Installation without Hardware Acceleration
   ```bash
   pip install llama-cpp-python
   ```

   ### Installation with Hardware Acceleration

    `llama.cpp` supports multiple BLAS backends for faster processing.

    To install with OpenBLAS, set the `LLAMA_BLAS and LLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR` environment variables before installing:

    ```bash
    CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" pip install llama-cpp-python
    ```

    To install with cuBLAS, set the `LLAMA_CUBLAS=1` environment variable before installing:

    ```bash
    CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CUBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
    ```

    To install with CLBlast, set the `LLAMA_CLBLAST=1` environment variable before installing:

    ```bash
    CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CLBLAST=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
    ```

    To install with Metal (MPS), set the `LLAMA_METAL=on` environment variable before installing:

    ```bash
    CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_METAL=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
    ```

    To install with hipBLAS / ROCm support for AMD cards, set the `LLAMA_HIPBLAS=on` environment variable before installing:

    ```bash
    CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_HIPBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
    ```

    To get to know more about Hardware Acceleration, refer to official README from [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python)

5. Create a folder named `models` in the project directory.

6. Download a Language Model from the Hugging Face Model Hub based on your computer's capabilities. It is recommended using the following model as a starting point: [TheBloke/CodeLlama-7B-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/CodeLlama-7B-GGUF/blob/main/codellama-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf). If you want to quantize a model available on Hugging Face, follow the instructions from [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)

7. Copy the downloaded model file to the "models" folder.

8. Open the `models.py` file located in the "repochat" folder and set the model file location in the `code_llama()` function as follows:
   ```python
   def code_llama():
       callbackmanager = CallbackManager([StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()])
       llm = LlamaCpp(
           model_path="./models/codellama-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf",
           n_ctx=2048,
           max_tokens=200,
           n_gpu_layers=1,
           f16_kv=True,
           callback_manager=callbackmanager,
           verbose=True,
           use_mlock=True
       )
       return llm
   ```
