I'm completely green when it comes to this, i'm looking for the local ai that can run on my CPU, run off my private knowledge base, can learn from my conversations with it has speech capability, adjustable filters, and requires very minimal coding if anybody can point me in the right direction I would gratefully appreciate it I tried looking at some of the models and I became overwhelmed. Thanks In advance

Greetings. Some of us just might be newbies.

Installed LocalAI, I think, but can't find it or launch it.... Help?

Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE

Greetings!
Downloaded LocalAI, discovered it was a binary, downloaded the launcher, extracted and ran it. The gui said it could not find LocalAI and offered to download and install it for me. It tried three times, failing each time.
Where does the launcher expect to find the binary?

[Jmeeha]

Not quite sure what you're asking me

Sorry. Let me try again.
After putting it in all of the places I could think of, the launcher (local-ai-launcher-linux.tar.xz) still says it cannot find the localai binary (local-ai-v4.0.0-linux-amd64).
When I click download and install, it reaches ~92% and restarts for three tries and gives up.
Leaving me to ask where I should put the binary so the launcher might find it. And in what name?

However, running the binary directly does work. And very well. Thank you. Very fast.

I have since installed the docker container, which is reported as running. Have not tried the browser yet.
The problems I am having now is with getting LocalAGI up in the container. Will explain that over there.
