Windows 11 documentation

I want to test out Biniou however, I am afraid to run biniou_netinstall.exe based on the warning you have on the instructions as I dont want to mess with my windows, I need to install it using venv myself and i need clear instruction.

I've tried installing it figuring out the dependancies but now I am stuck on this error:

(venv) E:\Ai__Project\biniou>python webui.py
A matching Triton is not available, some optimizations will not be enabled.
Error caught was: No module named 'triton'

Hello @Tobe2d,

First for all, thanks for your feedback and your interest in biniou.

Bad news are biniou doesn't really have any kind of documentation for manual installation under Windows and there is zero chances you can make it work without installing prerequisites. The main risk of installing these prerequisites is breaking a possible existing development environment and/or updating/downgrading a version of a software already installed on your system (note that biniou itself is harmless for your computer, as it uses its own python virtual environment). There is 99.99% of chances that the installation of biniou doesn't impact stability of your system, but I can't honestly guarantee that there would be no problems without knowing your environment, and prefer to warn users about this.

Good news is that biniou_netinstall.exe is nothing more than a downloader for install_win.cmd, which is the true installer. You can (which was maybe what you already did ?), use it as an (almost) self-explanatory step-by-step installer.

Concerning the error sent back by biniou, it seems that

File "E:\AiProject\biniou\venv\Lib\site-packages\uvicorn\config.py", line 399, in load self.ssl: ssl.SSLContext | None = create_ssl_context( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "E:\AiProject\biniou\venv\Lib\site-packages\uvicorn\config.py", line 112, in create_ssl_context ctx.load_cert_chain(certfile, keyfile, get_password) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

indicate that no SSL certificates were found, which is perfectly logical if you haven't installed openssl which is required for generating a certificate at install time.

If you're still concerned about the security of your system -which is perfectly legitimate !- , I can recommend you to :

Make a backup of your datas and system before installing
Install biniou in a virtual machine (no GPU optimizations)
Use one of the two dockerfile provided (CPU or CUDA)

I close this issue, as I assume that the content of install_win.cmd will permits you to install biniou manually, but don't hesitate to re-open it if you encounter a specific issue during installation.
