JiHa-Kim / update-llama.cpp-windows

I created a script to update llama.cpp on Windows with cmake because doing it manually is tedious.

Llama.cpp Update Script

This PowerShell script is used to update the llama.cpp repository to the latest version. It also moves the update_windows.ps1 script to the new directory and compiles the project using cmake.

Prerequisites

• Git
• CMake
• PowerShell

Usage

1. Save the script as update_windows.ps1 in your llama.cpp directory.
2. Open PowerShell and navigate to the directory containing update_windows.ps1.
3. Run the script with the command ./update_windows.ps1.

What the Script Does

1. Stores the current working directory and its absolute path.
2. Renames the current directory by appending ".old".
3. Changes to the user's home directory.
4. Checks if the llama.cpp directory already exists. If it does, it deletes it.
5. Clones the llama.cpp repository from GitHub.
6. Changes to the newly cloned repository directory.
7. Moves the update_windows.ps1 script to the new directory.
8. Prints the new llama.cpp directory path.
9. Creates a new directory for the build files.
10. Changes to the new build directory.
11. Runs cmake in the newly created directory.
12. Compiles the project with cmake --build.
13. Prompts the user to move the contents of the 'models' folder from the old directory to the new one.
14. Prompts the user to move the contents of the 'prompts' folder from the old directory to the new one.
15. Changes back to the new working directory (llama.cpp).
16. Pauses at the end and prompts the user to press Enter to exit.

Notes

• The script assumes that git and cmake are installed on your machine and are available in your system's PATH.
• The script will only work if llama.cpp is a git repository.
• Always back up your files before running the script to prevent any data loss.
