-# Installation
-
-Run the "start" script. If all goes right, it should take care of
-everything for you.
-
-To launch the web UI in the future after it is already installed, run
-the same "start" script.
-
-# Updating the web UI
-
-Run the "update" script. This will only install the updates, so it should
-be much faster than the initial installation.
-
-# Adding flags like --chat, --notebook, etc
-
-Edit the "webui.py" script using a text editor and add the desired flags
-to the CMD_FLAGS variable at the top. It should look like this:
-
-CMD_FLAGS = '--chat'
-
-For instance, to add the --api flag, change it to
-
-CMD_FLAGS = '--chat --api'
-
-# Running an interactive shell
-
-To run an interactive shell in the miniconda environment, run the "cmd"
-script. This is useful for installing additional requirements manually.
-
-# Using an AMD GPU in Linux
-
-Requires ROCm SDK 5.4.2 or 5.4.3 to be installed.
-Some systems may also need: sudo apt-get install libstdc++-12-dev
-
-Edit the "webui.py" script using a text editor and un-comment and modify the
-lines near the top of the script according to your setup. In particular, modify
-the os.environ["ROCM_PATH"] = '/opt/rocm' line to point to your ROCm installation.

+# Adding flags like --chat, --notebook, etc

+Open the "CMD_FLAGS.txt" file with a text editor, add your flags, and

+
+--chat --api

+# Running an interactive shell

+Sometimes you may need to install some additional Python package. To do
