## Installation

### Basic Installation

```bash
pip install llmtoolkit
```

### With Optional Dependencies

For Hugging Face transformers support:
```bash
pip install llmtoolkit[transformers]
```

For GPU acceleration:
```bash
pip install llmtoolkit[gpu]
```

For all features:
```bash
pip install llmtoolkit[all]
```

## Usage

### Command Line

After installation, you can launch the application with:

```bash
llmtoolkit
```

### Command Line Options

```bash
llmtoolkit --help          # Show help message
llmtoolkit --version       # Show version information
llmtoolkit --model PATH    # Load a specific model on startup
llmtoolkit --debug         # Enable debug logging
```

### Python Module

You can also run it as a Python module:

```bash
python -m llmtoolkit
```

### Programmatic Usage

```python
import llmtoolkit

# Launch the GUI application
llmtoolkit.main()

# Or access specific components
from llmtoolkit.app.core import ModelService
model_service = ModelService()
```

## Supported Model Formats

- **GGUF** (.gguf) - Recommended format for efficient inference
- **GGML** (.ggml) - Legacy format support
- **Hugging Face** - Direct model loading from HF Hub (with transformers extra)
- **PyTorch** (.bin, .pt, .pth) - PyTorch model files
- **Safetensors** (.safetensors) - Safe tensor format

## System Requirements

- **Python**: 3.8 or higher
- **Operating System**: Windows, macOS, or Linux
- **Memory**: 4GB RAM minimum (8GB+ recommended for larger models)
- **Storage**: 2GB free space (plus space for models)
- **GPU** (optional): NVIDIA CUDA, AMD ROCm, or Apple Metal support

## Configuration

The application stores configuration and data in:
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\llmtoolkit\`
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/llmtoolkit/`
- **Linux**: `~/.config/llmtoolkit/`

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Installation Problems:**
- Ensure you have Python 3.8+ installed
- Try upgrading pip: `pip install --upgrade pip`
- For GPU support issues, check your CUDA/ROCm installation

**Model Loading Issues:**
- Verify model file format is supported (GGUF recommended)
- Check available system memory
- Ensure model file is not corrupted

**GUI Not Starting:**
- Install GUI dependencies: `pip install llmtoolkit[all]`
- On Linux, ensure X11 forwarding is enabled if using SSH
- Check system compatibility with PySide6

**Performance Issues:**
- Close other memory-intensive applications
- Use smaller models for limited hardware
- Enable GPU acceleration if available
