## Local Build Instructions
> **Note**
> Tested On:
> - Windows 11 22H + VS2022 (CE) x64
> - Linux Ubuntu x64
> - Linux Ubuntu (WSL2) x64
1. Setup the repository
2. Build the native libraries for the platform of choice (see below)
3. Build the C# Bindings (NET6+ SDK is required)
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all
cd gpt4all/gpt4all-bindings/csharp
```
### Linux
1. Setup build environment and install NET6+ SDK with the appropriate procedure for your distribution
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y cmake build-essential
chmod +x ./build_linux.sh
```
2. `./build_linux.sh`
3. The native libraries should be present at `.\native\linux-x64`
### Windows - MinGW64
#### Additional requirements
- [MinGW64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/)
- CMAKE
1. Setup
```
choco install mingw
$env:Path += ";C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin"
choco install -y cmake --installargs 'ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=System'
```
2. Run the `./build_win-mingw.ps1` build script
3. The native libraries should be present at `.\native\win-x64`
### Windows - MSVC
#### Additional requirements
- Visual Studio 2022
1. Open a terminal using the `x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022` (`vcvars64.bat`)
2. Run the `./build_win-msvc.ps1` build script
3. `libllmodel.dll` and `libllama.dll` should be present at `.\native\win-x64`
> **Warning**
> If the build fails with: '**error C7555: use of designated initializers requires at least '/std:c++20'**'
>
> Modify `cd gpt4all/gpt4all-backends/CMakeLists.txt` adding `CXX_STANDARD_20` to `llmodel` properties.
> ```cmake
> set_target_properties(llmodel PROPERTIES
> VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION}
> CXX_STANDARD 20 # <---- ADD THIS -----------------------
> SOVERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR})
> ```
## C# Bindings Build Instructions
Build the `Gpt4All` (or `Gpt4All.Samples`) projects from within VisualStudio.
### Try the bindings
```csharp
using Gpt4All;
// load the model
var modelFactory = new ModelFactory();
using var model = modelFactory.LoadModel("./path/to/ggml-gpt4all-j-v1.3-groovy.bin");
var input = "Name 3 Colors";
// request a prediction
var result = await model.GetStreamingPredictionAsync(
input,
PredictRequestOptions.Defaults);
// asynchronously print the tokens as soon as they are produces by the model
await foreach(var token in result.GetPredictionStreamingAsync())
{
Console.Write(token);
}
```
Output:
```
