 The weights are based on the published fine-tunes from `alpaca-lora`, converted back into a pytorch checkpoint with a [modified script](https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora/pull/19) and then quantized with llama.cpp the regular way. 
 
+## Windows Setup
+
+- Download and install CMake: <https://cmake.org/download/>
+- Download and install `git`. If you've never used git before, consider a GUI client like <https://desktop.github.com/>
+- Clone this repo using your git client of choice (for GitHub Desktop, go to File -> Clone repository -> From URL and paste `https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp` in as the URL)
+- Open a Windows Terminal inside the folder you cloned the repository to
+- Run the following commands one by one:
+
+```ps1
+cmake .
+cmake --build . --config Release
+```
+
+- Download the weights via any of the links in "Get started" above, and save the file as `ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin` in the main Alpaca directory.
+- In the terminal window, run this command:
+```ps1
+.\Release\chat.exe
+```
+- (You can add other launch options like `--n 8` as preferred onto the same line)
+- You can now type to the AI in the terminal and it will reply. Enjoy!

The chat implementation is based on Matvey Soloviev's [Interactive Mode](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/61) for llama.cpp. Inspired by [Simon Willison's](https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/llama-7b-m2) getting started guide for LLaMA.
