I'm new to this, and I could use some assistance. Visual Studio Code is showing an error while trying to install privateGPT, indicating that a wheel for llama-cpp-python is required. However, it seems that my PC lacks NMake, preventing the creation of the wheel. I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

i just automated the step of opening the conda virtual environment where python 3.11.0 was used in my case and opening the url after a 30 second delay via a python script and a bat file . Please use and make changes to suit your own locations ..all credits to chatgpt :-)

getting below error:

S D:\privateGPT-main> poetry run python scripts/setup

BUG NOTE: every time i stop it seems to delete the embeded model! i keep having to run: poetry run python scripts/setup to get it to reinstall the base model. no idea why but hey it's pretty fast.

@holmstrands did you follow the steps listed by @ForestEco? I also had issues installing Poetry..but followed @ForestEco steps and got it running. Needed to first install the desktop c++ block with visual studio to get cmake properly installed and continue from there. Thanks all! Let's see what it can do..

Im getting this error when try to ingest, already install docx2txt

File "", line 322, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd4 in position 10: invalid continuation byte

As of this week :
poetry install --with ui,local
becomes :
poetry install --extras "ui embeddings-huggingface llms-llama-cpp vector-stores-qdrant"

I had a hard time getting this running on Windows 11. Here is what worked for me.

1. Uninstall all python versions
2. Then follow this guide for pyenv and poetry (I tried manually a few times but the script mentioned in the link worked better)
3. git clone https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT
4. privateGPT
5. pyenv install 3.11.6
6. pyenv local 3.11.6
7. choco install make
8. poetry install --with ui, local
9. poetry run python scripts/setup
10. poetry run python -m private_gpt
11. navigate to http://localhost:8001/

Hope this helps someone :)

8. poetry install --with ui, local

I have had huge issues installing this on my Windows PC - this is why i installed GPT4All instead of PrivatGPT a few months ago. But i really want to get this to work.

My issue is that i get stuck at this part: 8. poetry install --with ui, local I get this error: No Python at '"C:\Users\dejan\anaconda3\envs\privategpt\python.exe' I have uninstalled Anaconda and even checked my PATH system directory and i dont have that path anywhere and i have no clue how to set the correct path which should be "C:\Program\Python312"

I dont have the C:\Users\dejan\anaconda3 folder (checked with hidden files also).

If you, or anyone one else have a fix for this, please help. Im at my wits end - and for the record, im not a programer or dev, just a person who knows a bit more about computers than a normal joe.

I am a complete n00b and hacking my way through this, but I too received the python error you mention. In order to fix this I ran

conda install Python=3.11

after activating my environment.

I am finding that the toml file is not correct for poetry 1.2 and above because it’s using the old format for the ui variable. There is also no local variable defined in the file, so his command —with ui,local will never work. I updated the toml to use the 1.2+ format but then ran into another issue referencing the object “list”.

Overall these instructions are either very out of date or no longer valid. Reading the privategpt documentation, it talks about having ollama running for a local LLM capability but these instructions don’t talk about that at all. I’m very confused.

to get the lastest don't you have to clone from here: https://github.com/zylon-ai/private-gpt.git

When I run poetry install --with ui,local, see the following errors:
Group(s) not found: local (via --with), ui (via --with)
I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.
