Error while installing python package: llama-cpp-python

pasta_paul

I am using Llama to create an application. Previously I used openai but am looking for a free alternative. Based on my limited research, this library provides openai-like api access making it quite easy to add into my prexisting code. However this library has errors while downloading. I tried installing cmake which did not help. Building wheels for collected packages: llama-cpp-python Building wheel for llama-cpp-python (pyproject.toml) ......

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

You need to install the desktop c++ block with visual studio to get cmake properly installed.Open the Visual Studio Installer and click Modify, then check Desktop development with C++ and click Modify to start the install. I also recommend the Windows 10 SDK. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/cmake-projects-in-visual-studio?view=msvc-170 https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/ After that, !pip install llama-cpp-python should build just fine.
