Install for Noobs like me on windows 10

[Badashphilosophy]

Describe the bug

there is a little bit of technical knowledge required to install open interpreter.

because im basic i know others are also basic so heres what to do:

install python from python website
https://www.python.org/downloads/

open your command line as administrator by going to start and searching cmd, right click and open as admin, click yes

type:
cd /users

run cmds:
pip install open_interpreter
pip install setup tools
pip install matlib

install visual code c++ redistribution 64x from learn microsoft website
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

pip install cv2

once finished you can run interpreter with cmd
interpreter

or run this for free llama3 80b from groq, replacing the api key with your own api from groq website, developer tools, create api key
interpreter --vision --os --api_base "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" --api_key "insert_your_apikey_here" --model "llama3-70b-8192" --context_window 8192

Reproduce

i know this isnt typical format for github but if someone would have done this id have had interpreter installed in 20minutes instead of 3hours

Expected behavior

between installing python and visual code a lot of things dont work as expected so hopefully this makes it easier for you

if name == "main":
main()

this will fix the problem

I would say easier steps would be using Anaconda. Then you have a Venv you can blow away.

technically you can do the same thing in python using python -m venv venv. buuuut going from system to system and OS to OS. Anaconda translates suuuuper easy, and i like how well it containerizes that VENV.

you should be able to copy the text. save it as a .bat and then it would install. i'm going to test it this weekend and see if i can add it to the repo. it's an easy one-click.

@echo off

echo Step 1: Downloading Anaconda...
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2024.02-1-Windows-x86_64.exe

echo Step 2: Installing Anaconda...
Anaconda3-2024.02-1-Windows-x86_64.exe
echo Step 3: Creating interpreter environment with Python 3.11...
conda create -n interpreter python=3.11

echo Step 4: Activating interpreter environment...
conda activate interpreter

echo Step 5: Installing open-interpreter...
pip install open-interpreter

echo Step 6: Adding OpenAI API key...
read -p 'Enter your OpenAI API key: ' OPENAI_API_KEY
echo %OPENAI_API_KEY%>openai_api_key.txt

echo Step 7: Installation complete. You can run the interpreter using the command: interpreter
print("To use the interpreter with Llama3 80B from Groq, use the following command:")
print('interpreter --llm-supports-vision --os --api_base "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" --api_key "your_api_key_here" --model "llama3-70b-8192" --context_window 8192')

ALTERNATIVELY

Look into Pinokio.
They have a helper script that let's you convert ... anything into a Pinokio Computer File. -- open-interpreter as well as the 01 SW but... there has to be a model they use outside of gpt-4o I've notice significant improvements with the new model, however... i swear to god if i have to tell that thing to not shorthand ssh ONE MORE TIME. haha.

I was going to look into that this weekend.

FWIW - - i think the command-R-Plus model on cohere outperforms gpt for this specific use-case. it understands computers... really really well. GPT-4o made the leap to where it's close, but i still think the databricks models are great... and they are opensource.

[Kreijstal]

can you download command-R-Plus locally?

[ai-Ev1lC0rP]

Yep.

-You can through Ollama- but MOST hardware wouldn't run it. I've got a 4090 with 24gig of VRAM and 128gig of DDR5 and it's… basically unusable. I'm going to hop over to codestral today to see what performance I get out of it's logic and reasoning.
