Error Downloading Models from Community on Winodws

[mmortazavi]

I have cloded the repo, installed all requirements including the CMake and itree based on one of the reported issues, still I run into the following traceback error when trying to download the model via:

python -m llama.download or python -m llama.download --folder .\models\

Exception has occurred: FileNotFoundError
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/error.njkfo9xztnqw.log'
  File "C:\Users\majmo\Git\pyllama\llama\download.py", line 17, in download
    retcode = hiq.execute_cmd(cmd, verbose=True, shell=True, runtime_output=True)
  File "C:\Users\majmo\Git\pyllama\llama\download.py", line 87, in <module>
    download(args)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/error.njkfo9xztnqw.log'

I have tried to see what I can change, but it was nor clear what hiq does actually when executing at line 17!

You need to install wget.

Try pip install hiq-python -U.

The nature of the problem changes when installing wget and upgrading hiq-python, now I get:

It has to do with subprocesses execution of the cmd in Windows! Where is this issue mentioned? You labelled it as duplicate.

I will try it tomorrow and update here.

I found a workaround for this issues:

1. if you are on windows you have to have WSL and bash installed to be able to run the download script.
2. you have to have wget installed(in the linux version)
3. HIQ seems to have an issue executing bash shell scripts in cmd
4. What you can do is, manually create a version of the download script and add you director( in linux format) and add the model you want as a string
5. now just use wsl and open bash in commandline and run the download script
6. now you have your desired model installed and can continue with the setup. For the dev:
7. I will try to write a .bat file for windows its possible to just check for OS and then execute either .sh or .bat depending on os
8. will send commit
