npx dalai serve not working, no error output (Ubuntu 18.04, dalai@0.0.13)

[tddschn]

Hello,

Thank you for making this!

I was just trying it out on a Ubuntu 18.04 server, and the 2nd command npx dalai serve didn't seem to work on my server (I've run npx dalai llama).

Some command history and outputs:

(base) ➜  ~ npx dalai serve
Need to install the following packages:
  dalai@0.0.13
Ok to proceed? (y) 
(base) ➜  ~ lsof -i :3000
(base) ➜  ~ sudo netstat -plnt | grep :3000

(base) ➜  ~ node -v # node is installed via snap
v18.15.0
(base) ➜  ~ npm -v
9.5.0
(base) ➜  ~

After running npx dalai llama, ~/dalai wasn't created. The command exited very fast.

Node on the server is installed via snap.

Same issue but on Windows 11, after running npx dalai llama no dalai folder is created.

Windows 10, same.

same on windows 10

Windows 10, same.

I fixed mine by installing latest Visual Studio Community with support for Desktop C++ environment.

I only used VS Code with C/C++ installed. Will try the community edition but couldn't see it would solve it

for windows I think it's related to ggerganov's llama.cpp not supported for windows yet? I wonder why it happens to linux too.

@tddschn would you try with #16
I would suggest just download the repo of the pr owner

Make sure you have build-essentials before running install and serve. Otherwise it silently failed for me after attempting npx dalai serve and saying "yes" to the prompt to install dalai@0.2.50 package (Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS on WSL2).

sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
npx dalai alpaca install 7B
npx dalai serve

[kamalbilal]

In Kali Linux I have installed build-essential and python3-venv and also npx dalai alpaca install 7B.
When I run "npx dalai serve", it just installs again and then the command exits automatically without any error or warning.

Hi, all
in Ubuntu I cannot install npx dalai:

Warning: "tall build-essential python3-venv -y" exists; Overwrite, Append or Don't log? 

[ruxiz2020]

I got the same issue on mac, for installing alpaca. After npx dalai server nothing comes back.

npx dalai server
Need to install the following packages:
  dalai@0.3.1
Ok to proceed? (y) y

Anyone resolved this yet?

Running Ubuntu

npx dalai serve --verbose

Same for win10, did anyone address it? (but it works on linux)

Windows 10, same.

Solved my similar failure by upgrading node from 12 to 19. Installation went to completion. (Ubuntu 20.4)
