## Installation
The easiest way to install the Python bindings for GPT4All is to use pip:
```
pip install gpt4all
```
## Local Build Instructions
This will download the latest version of the `gpt4all` package from PyPI.
## Local Build
As an alternative to downloading via pip, you may build the Python bindings from source.
### Prerequisites
@ -23,25 +29,32 @@ macOS users do not need Vulkan, as GPT4All will use Metal instead.
### Building the python bindings
**NOTE**: If you are doing this on a Windows machine, you must build the GPT4All backend using [MinGW64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/) compiler.
1. Clone GPT4All and change directory:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all.git
cd gpt4all/gpt4all-backend
```
2. Build the backend.
1. Setup `llmodel`
If you are using Windows and have Visual Studio installed:
```
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --parallel --config RelWithDebInfo
```
For all other platforms:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all.git
cd gpt4all/gpt4all-backend/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --parallel # optionally append: --config Release
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
cmake --build build --parallel
```
Confirm that `libllmodel.*` exists in `gpt4all-backend/build`.
2. Setup Python package
`RelWithDebInfo` is a good default, but you can also use `Release` or `Debug` depending on the situation.
2. Install the Python package:
```
cd ../../gpt4all-bindings/python
pip3 install -e .
pip install -e .
```
