## How to run it
### llama.cpp (recommended)
1. Install llama.cpp. Homebrew and winget installs name the commands llama-cli and llama-server instead. [Other ways to install](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/docs/install.md)
```sh
# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://llama.app/install.sh | sh
# Windows
irm https://llama.app/install.ps1 | iex
```
2. Run Code Llama 7B Instruct (Q4_K_M, needs ~4.1 GB, from [huggingface.co/mradermacher](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-GGUF/tree/b108be96c2abbf4e8a239c07d87d7bbfde2081ea))
```sh
llama cli -hf mradermacher/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```
3. Or start a local server and open the address it prints (http://localhost:9931)
```sh
llama serve -hf mradermacher/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```
Other versions: Q8_0 (~7.2 GB) `llama cli -hf mradermacher/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-GGUF:Q8_0`
### LM Studio
1. Install LM Studio. Open the app once before using the lms command. [Download it (macOS / Windows / Linux)](https://lmstudio.ai/download)
2. Run Code Llama 7B Instruct (Q4_K_M, needs ~4.1 GB, from [huggingface.co/mradermacher](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-GGUF/tree/b108be96c2abbf4e8a239c07d87d7bbfde2081ea))
```sh
lms get https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-GGUF@Q4_K_M -y
```
3. Then run lms ls to see its name, and lms chat followed by that name
Other versions: Q8_0 (~7.2 GB) `lms get https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-GGUF@Q8_0 -y` · 4bit (~3.8 GB, Mac only) `lms get https://huggingface.co/javiergtzr/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-4bit -y` · 8bit (~7.2 GB, Mac only) `lms get https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-8bit-mlx -y`
### Ollama
1. Install Ollama. [Download it (macOS / Windows)](https://ollama.com/download)
```sh
# Linux
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
```
2. Run Code Llama 7B Instruct (Q4_K_M, needs ~4.1 GB, from [ollama.com](https://ollama.com/library/codellama/tags))
```sh
ollama run codellama:7b-instruct-q4_K_M
```
Other versions: Q8_0 (~7.2 GB) `ollama run codellama:7b-instruct-q8_0`
### MLX (Mac)
1. Install MLX (Mac). Apple silicon Macs only, text only.
```sh

uv tool install mlx-lm
# or
pip install mlx-lm
```
2. Run Code Llama 7B Instruct (4bit, needs ~3.8 GB, Mac only, from [huggingface.co/javiergtzr](https://huggingface.co/javiergtzr/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-4bit/tree/117bdc18b6d793fb07fda88d582653b717327e1c))
```sh
mlx_lm.chat --model javiergtzr/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-4bit
```
3. Or start an OpenAI-compatible server at http://localhost:8080/v1
```sh
mlx_lm.server --model javiergtzr/CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf-4bit
