Hello y'all, i was using this guide to try and set up llama again on my machine, i was sure that i was following the instructions to the letter but when i get to the part where i need to run setup_cuda.py install i get this error

File "C:\Users\Mike\miniconda3\Lib\site-packages\torch\utils\cpp_extension.py", line 2419, in _join_cuda_home raise OSError('CUDA_HOME environment variable is not set. ' OSError: CUDA_HOME environment variable is not set. Please set it to your CUDA install root. (base) PS C:\Users\Mike\text-generation-webui\repositories\GPTQ-for-LLaMa>

i'm not a huge coder yet so i tried to use setx to set CUDA_HOME to a few different places but each time doing echo %CUDA_HOME doesn't come up with the address so i assume it failed, and i still can't run setup_cuda.py

Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Agree with others, this guide is a bit more work than you probably need. I don't really run windows much anymore but I did have an easier time with WSL like the other poster mentioned.

And just to check, are you planning on fine-tuning a model? If so then the whole anaconda / miniconda, pytorch, etc... path makes sense.

But if you're not fine-tuning and you just want to run a model locally, I'd suggest ollama. If you want a UI on top of it, open-webui is great.

Nah I'm just wanting to run for now, maybe If I get more interested down the Line, but I will check those out
