Cannot install on Windows

[SoftologyPro]

I create new clean Python environment.
Then the following commands all work

git clone https://github.com/myshell-ai/AIlice.git
cd AIlice
pip install -e .

But when I try the next pip install -e .[speech] it fails with these errors...
fail.txt

Any ideas? Thanks.

[SoftologyPro]

After some Googling, adding an environment variable
set SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib
got past the error.

Hopefully that helps other Windows users.

[SoftologyPro]

So, I got through all the installs, ie.

git clone https://github.com/myshell-ai/AIlice.git
cd AIlice
pip install -e .
set SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib
pip install -e .[speech]
pip install -e .[finetuning]

When I run
python ailicemain.py --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6
I now get

Special tokens have been added in the vocabulary, make sure the associated word embeddings are fine-tuned or trained.
The `load_in_4bit` and `load_in_8bit` arguments are deprecated and will be removed in the future versions. Please, pass a `BitsAndBytesConfig` object in `quantization_config` argument instead.
Encountered an exception, AIlice is exiting: Using `bitsandbytes` 8-bit quantization requires Accelerate: `pip install accelerate` and the latest version of bitsandbytes: `pip install -i https://pypi.org/simple/ bitsandbytes`

I ran those 2 pip installs, ie

pip install accelerate
pip install -i https://pypi.org/simple/ bitsandbytes

but I still get the same error?

[stevenlu137]

I tried to reproduce the errors mentioned above, but failed. Can you tell me the details of your running environment? For example, the operating system version, python seems to be 3.10?

If this problem cannot be solved in the end, it is actually a better choice to directly use LM Studio to run the model, so that you can run larger models, and you do not need to wait for a long time each time you start AIlice. In addition, the voice dialogue function is not very good at the moment, if you are not interested in developing it, it is best to wait until this module is refactored before experiencing it.

[SoftologyPro]

Windows 11 and Python 3.10.8.
I created a fresh env to test under, ie python -m venv voc_ailice and then ran

git clone https://github.com/myshell-ai/AIlice.git
cd AIlice
pip install -e .
set SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib
pip install -e .[speech]
pip install -e .[finetuning]

No problem if it is not 100% ready yet. I can wait. One of my users requested I added support for it in Visions of Chaos.

[stevenlu137]

I forgot to remind you early that AIlice does not yet support Windows PowerShell scripts, so you will encounter problems when use the programming function of AIlice. I am trying to reproduce your problem. If it is solved successfully, I will consider adding PowerShell support.
I took a look at Visions of Chaos, very cool software!

[stevenlu137]

I installed AIlice in the conda environment under Windows, and tried programming and executing tasks. It turns out that WSL can execute these bash codes very well, so it seems that we do not really need to support powershell.

But I still haven't reproduced these installation errors. Let me clean up AIlice's dependencies first.

[SoftologyPro]

But I still haven't reproduced these installation errors. Let me clean up AIlice's dependencies first.

Maybe a requirements.txt with all dependancies like other repos would help? Then the install steps would be the git clone followed by pip install -r requirements.txt

If you do go that was, please ensure version numbers for each package, ie
https://softologyblog.wordpress.com/2023/10/10/a-plea-to-all-python-developers/

No rush, take your time.

[stevenlu137]

OK, I will provide a requirements.txt after the voice dialogue function is perfected and useless dependencies are removed. Please wait for a few days.

[stevenlu137]

I just submitted a requirements.txt in the main branch, tested under python 3.10.13 environment.
Please note that in this environment, various functions of AIlice (such as voice, fine-tuning) work normally, but there are several dependencies in the environment that are in conflict. I hope this meets your requirements.
We will improve the problem of dependency conflicts by cutting dependencies in the future.

[SoftologyPro]

OK, I cloned the latest repo, created a new venv with python -m venv voc_ailice then installed the requriements.
I did uninstll the CPU torch and install torch==2.2.1+cu118 at the end to support GPU.
I also had to copy alicemain.py up a directory for the script to start (as it references imports under ailice).
Then when ruinning
python ailicemain.py --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6
It does go off and download the models,. but then gives these errors.

(voc_ailice) D:\Tests\AIlice>python ailicemain.py --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6
config.json is located at C:\Users\Jason\AppData\Local\Steven Lu\ailice/config.json
In order to simplify installation and usage, we have set local execution as the default behavior, which means AI has complete control over the local environment. To prevent irreversible losses due to potential AI errors, you may consider one of the following two methods: the first one, run AIlice in a virtual machine; the second one, install Docker, use the provided Dockerfile to build an image and container, and modify the relevant configurations in config.json.

1. Since the directory structure of AIlice is designed for future release as a package, pip install -e is still suggested after installing dependencies using requirements.txt. This can avoid a lot of inconvenience.
2. This is mainly the error message output by bitsandbytes, indicating that the CUDA runtime is missing. So first you need to confirm your GPU model and whether CUDA is installed, and use python -m bitsandbytes to view detailed information about the running environment.

[SoftologyPro]

OK, got a bit further.
I ran pip install -e .
For bitsabdbytes I uninstalled the existing version and then used this version which worked in other environments I have
pip install --no-cache-dir --ignore-installed --force-reinstall --no-warn-conflicts git+https://github.com/Keith-Hon/bitsandbytes-windows.git@fdb1ba729fa1936f2ef69e5ff1084d09189fdc2a
Now when I run
python ailicemain.py --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6
It gets to the green User: prompt, but when I try just hello I get a new error.

ASSISTANT_AIlice:  Sure! Here's a joke: "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!"

This joke is funny because it plays on the pun of the word "make up," which can mean both creating something and dressing up. In this context, it implies that atoms are responsible for creating everything in the universe, but also that they are deceitful or dishonest, as they "make up" stories or lies. The humor comes from the unexpected twist in the meaning of the word "make up" and the absurdity of attributing human-like traits to atoms.
USER:

Getting closer.
I see that gradio is installed with requirements. Is there a Web UI for this? Does it allow text-to-speech and speech-to-text?

[stevenlu137]

Yes, you can communicate with AIlice directly through voice conversation:
ailice_web --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6 --speechOn --ttsDevice=cuda --sttDevice=cuda
or
ailice_main --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6 --speechOn --ttsDevice=cuda --sttDevice=cuda

Note that you may need to wait for a while when using it for the first time, AIlice needs to download model weights in the background.
Remove the "--ttsDevice=cuda --sttDevice=cuda" options if you do not have enough video mem.

[SoftologyPro]

OK, thanks. Maybe add some text after "files started." when downloading the models...
"Please wait. AIlice is downloading required models. This can take a while depending on your Internet speed. Check the netwoprk activity under Task Manager to check for download traffic."

After the models download I can open the UI. I allow it access to my microphone.
I click record, say "hello this is a test" and click stop. Then I get this error.

When I play the recorded audio it is sped up 2 times and is repeated twice. If I type a text input the AI does respond and speak the response.

[stevenlu137]

Yeah, I'm thinking of adding a progress prompt as well, it's just that for some technical reasons this simple little task has become a bit difficult.
The problem you're currently having looks like the gradio isn't working properly, because the whole replaying audio thing is completely controlled internally by gradio. It seems that you can only try to switch the version of gradio.

If you are eager to try the voice conversation function, you can also use the voice conversation function of ailice_main, which provides a mechanism similar to natural dialogue between people, but is not as controllable as ailice_web.

I can wait for a fix for the UI voice conversation fix. That is what people will want to use rather than the commandline.

OK, thanks for that link. It may be an issue with Firefox byu the looks of it. I was going to test, but...

I tried a clean install today. Starting from a fresh environment, then git clone, then the pip installs. Now no matter how I do the installs (pip install -e method or requirements.txt) I get this new error when starting

That is at the point that the models would normally be downloaded? Is there a temp outage with the model server/hosts?

[stevenlu137]

AIlice's peripheral modules (including speech) are RPC services of independent processes. Some modules are necessary to start AIlice, if it fails to start, AIlice will fail.
This situation is caused by the failure of the speech module to start. You can use the following command to start this module manually and view the error output:

python3 -m ailice.modules.ASpeech --addr=ipc:///tmp/ASpeech.ipc

In the future, I will add some error handling and user-friendly error reporting mechanisms to remind users.

[stevenlu137]

In addition, because the current timeout setting is too short, this error may occasionally occur. Just try again.

[stevenlu137]

I just submitted a change to the master branch to avoid "Resource temporarily unavailable" errors caused by slow startup of peripheral modules. You can update the code to see if the problem is solved.

[SoftologyPro]

OK, testing again today.

This works
python ailicemain.py --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6

This still fails with "Resource temporarily unavailable"
python ailiceweb.py --modelID=hf:Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca --prompt="main" --quantization=8bit --contextWindowRatio=0.6 --speechOn --ttsDevice=cuda --sttDevice=cuda

If I try python -m ailice.modules.ASpeech --addr=ipc:///tmp/ASpeech.ipc I get new errors...

[stevenlu137]

Ah, this is a known issue. Some dependencies, maybe espnet, occasionally have versions that do not correctly reference its dependency typeguard, causing problems.
Previously AIlice had added typeguard==2.13.3 as a remedy, but considering this is not AIlice's direct dependency, this is not a good option, so I removed this item in a recent commit. It seems that maybe this item can be added to requirements.txt.
You can try to install typeguard.

[SoftologyPro]

Rolling back typeguard got it working.
I have to do that all the time when packages outside my control get an upgrade (without a version number).
Gradio record problem is still there,. but that will probably need a gradio fix.
Here is a batch file to install clean on Windows. Create a new directory and run this bacth file inside it.

Launching the gradio UI on Firefox has the bug that the recorded sound is twice as fast and doubled up.
Launching the gradio UI on Edge lstarts, but when you click "Enable microphone access" Edge hangs.
Launching the gradio UI on Chrome launches, the audio records correctly, the first time it gave errors, but the second time it works. Record, ask question, stop recording, UI shows question and AI answers and speaks.

[stevenlu137]

Thank you for your detailed information!
I usually don’t work under windows, so there are still some things that confuse me here. For example, does torch have the cpu version installed by default?

Thank you for your detailed information! I usually don’t work under windows, so there are still some things that confuse me here. For example, does torch have the cpu version installed by default?

If you just install "torch" on Windows you get the CPU version. You need to specify the GPU version by "torch==2.1.1+cu118". Then the other fixes so gradio and your scripts start. Most of my environments these days have some form of pip uninstall / pip installs at the end to fix version numbers or packages that have since been updated and broken older code.
