|
|
as an example for its usage.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip install gguf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
[examples/writer.py](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/examples/writer.py) — Generates `example.gguf` in the current directory to demonstrate generating a GGUF file. Note that this file cannot be used as a model.
|
|
|
|
[scripts/gguf-dump.py](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/scripts/gguf-dump.py) — Dumps a GGUF file's metadata to the console.
|

|
[scripts/gguf-set-metadata.py](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/scripts/gguf-set-metadata.py) — Allows changing simple metadata values in a GGUF file by key.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
Maintainers who participate in development of this package are advised to install it in editable mode:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd /path/to/llama.cpp/gguf-py
|
|
|
|
pip install --editable .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: This may require to upgrade your Pip installation, with a message saying that editable installation currently requires `setup.py`.
|
|
In this case, upgrade Pip to the latest:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip install --upgrade pip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Automatic publishing with CI
|
|
|
|
There's a GitHub workflow to make a release automatically upon creation of tags in a specified format.
|
|
|
|
1. Bump the version in `pyproject.toml`.
|
|
2. Create a tag named `gguf-vx.x.x` where `x.x.x` is the semantic version number.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Push the tags.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git push origin --tags
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manual publishing
|
|
If you want to publish the package manually for any reason, you need to have `twine` and `build` installed:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip install build twine
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, follow these steps to release a new version:
|
|
|
|
1. Bump the version in `pyproject.toml`.
|
|
2. Build the package:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python -m build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Upload the generated distribution archives:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python -m twine upload dist/*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
- [ ] Add tests
|
|
- [ ] Include conversion scripts as command line entry points in this package.
