## About
PAR LLAMA is a TUI application designed for easy management and use of Ollama based LLMs.
The application was built with [Textual](https://textual.textualize.io/) and [Rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich?tab=readme-ov-file)

### Screenshots
Supports Dark and Light mode as well as custom themes.

```bash
mkdir parllama
cd parllama
python -m venv venv
source venv/Scripts/activate
pip install parllama
```

## Installing for dev mode
Clone the repo and run the following from the root of the repo:
```bash
make first-setup
```


## Command line arguments
```

## Environment Variables
* PARLLAMA_DATA_DIR - Used to set --data-dir
* PARLLAMA_THEME_NAME - Used to set --theme-name
* PARLLAMA_THEME_MODE - Used to set --theme-mode
* OLLAMA_URL - Used to set --ollama-url

## Running PAR_LLAMA

### with pipx installation
From anywhere:
```bash
parllama
```

### with pip installation
From parent folder of venv
```bash
source venv/Scripts/activate
parllama
```

## Running under Windows WSL
Ollama by default only listens to localhost for connections, so you must set the environment variable OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434
to make it listen on all interfaces.  
**Note: this will allow connections to your Ollama server from other devices on any network you are connected to.**  
If you have Ollama installed via the native Windows installer you must set OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434 in the "System Variable" section
of the "Environment Variables" control panel.  
If you installed Ollama under WSL, setting the var with ```export OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434``` before starting the Ollama server will have it listen on all interfaces.
If your Ollama server is already running, stop and start it to ensure it picks up the new environment variable.  
You can validate what interfaces the Ollama server is listening on by looking at the server.log file in the Ollama config folder.  
You should see as one of the first few lines "OLLAMA_HOST:http://0.0.0.0:11434"  

Now that the server is listening on all interfaces you must instruct PAR_LLAMA to use a custom Ollama connection url with the "-u" flag.  
The command will look something like this:  
```bash
parllama -u "http://$(hostname).local:11434"
```
Depending on your DNS setup if the above does not work, try this:  
```bash
 parllama -u "http://$(grep -m 1 nameserver /etc/resolv.conf | awk '{print $2}'):11434"
```

PAR_LLAMA will remember the -u flag so subsequent runs will not require that you specify it.

### Dev mode
From repo root:
```bash
make dev
```

## Example workflow
* Start parllama.
* Click the "Site" tab.
* Use ^R to fetch the latest models from Ollama.com.
* User the "Filter Site models" text box and type "llama3".
* Find the entry with title of "llama3".
* Click the blue tag "8B" to update the search box to read "llama3:8b".
* Press ^P to pull the model from Ollama to your local machine. Depending on the size of the model and your internet connection this can take a few min.
* Click the "Local" tab to see models that have been locally downloaded
* Select the "llama3:8b" entry and press ^C to jump to the "Chat" tab and auto select the model
* Type a message to the model such as "Why is the sky blue?". It will take a few seconds for Ollama to load the model. After which the LLMs answer will stream in.
* Towards the very top of the app you will see what model is loaded and what percent of it is loaded into the GPU / CPU. If a model cant be loaded 100% on the GPU it will run slower.
* To export your conversation as a Markdown file type "/session.export" in the message input box. This will open a export dialog.
* Type "/help" or "/?" to see what other slash commands are available.

## Themes
Themes are json files stored in the themes folder in the data directory which defaults to **~/.parllama/themes**  

The default theme is "par" so can be located in **~/.parllama/themes/par.json**  

Themes have a dark and light mode are in the following format:  
```json
{
  "dark": {
    "primary": "#e49500",
    "secondary": "#6e4800",
    "warning": "#ffa62b",
    "error": "#ba3c5b",
    "success": "#4EBF71",
    "accent": "#6e4800",
    "panel": "#111",
    "surface":"#1e1e1e",
    "background":"#121212",
    "dark": true
  },
  "light": {
    "primary": "#004578",
    "secondary": "#ffa62b",
    "warning": "#ffa62b",
    "error": "#ba3c5b",
    "success": "#4EBF71",
    "accent": "#0178D4",
    "background":"#efefef",
    "surface":"#f5f5f5",
    "dark": false
  }
}
```

You must specify at least one of light or dark for the theme to be usable.  

Theme can be changed via command line with the ```--theme-name``` option.

## Contributing
Start by following the instructions in the section **Installing for dev mode**.  

Please ensure that all pull requests are formatted with black, pass mypy and pylint with 10/10 checks.  
You can run the make target **pre-commit** to ensure the pipeline will pass with your changes.  
There is also a pre-commit config to that will assist with formatting and checks.  
The easiest way to setup your environment to ensure smooth pull requests is:  

If you don't have pipx installed you can run the following:  
```bash
pip install pipx
pipx ensurepath
```

With pipx installed:
```bash
pipx install pre-commit
```

From repo root run the following:
```bash
pre-commit install
pre-commit run --all-files
```
After running the above all future commits will auto run pre-commit. pre-commit will fix what it can and show what
if anything remains to be fixed before the commit is allowed.
