Thank you for downloading oobabooga/text-generation-webui. # 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 this 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.
