Oterm doesn't start in FreeBSD

[nivit]

Hi, the version 0.6.X fails to start in FreeBSD with the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/oterm", line 5, in from oterm.cli.oterm import cli File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/oterm/cli/oterm.py", line 7, in from oterm.app.oterm import app File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/oterm/app/oterm.py", line 10, in from oterm.app.chat_edit import ChatEdit File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/oterm/app/chat_edit.py", line 17, in from oterm.ollamaclient import OllamaLLM, parse_ollama_parameters File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/oterm/ollamaclient.py", line 15, in from oterm.tools import ToolDefinition File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/oterm/tools/init.py", line 3, in from ollama._types import ( ImportError: cannot import name Parameters from ollama._types (/home/nivit/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ollama/_types.py)

Hey Nicola, thanks for this. I am not sure why this happens, can you please tell me how you installed oterm? pip? uv? Was it in a venv?

Can you try installing with

python3 -m venv .venv
source ./.venv/bin/activate
pip install oterm

in a fresh virtual environment?

Can you also check if _types.py exists inside your environment? Can you import Parameters from interactive python?

Hi, I use the FreeBSD ports to install oterm and its dependencies (pkg install oterm). However installing it in a clean Python environment, as you suggested, all works fine (after applying this patch, otherwise it fails with the error:

                ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: freebsd14

Maybe there is something wrong in the dependencies installed by FreeBSD?

The file _types exists, but the command:python3 -c 'from ollama._types import Parameters'

fails with the reported error at the beginning.

P.S. The latest version has a very nice splash screen!

I don't know if this can help

Likely it's a problem with Python Ollama, not oterm.

Mistery solved: there was an old version of ollama under my home directory ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages. I apologize for the background noise. We can close this issue.

Oh good to know you are all set ;) And thanks for the splash I had so much fun adding this. You will also get different versions, it picks randomly among a few every time you start :)
