# App
Jan Desktop is an Electron application designed to allow users to interact with the Language Model (LLM) through chat or create art using Stable Diffusion.
## Features
- Chat with the Language Model: Engage in interactive conversations with the Language Model. Ask questions, seek information, or simply have a chat.
- Generate Art with Stable Diffusion: Utilize the power of Stable Diffusion to generate unique and captivating pieces of art. Experiment with various parameters to achieve desired results.
## Installation and Usage
### Pre-requisites
- node >= 20.0.0
- yarn >= 1.22.0
### Use as complete suite (in progress)
### For interactive development
Note: This instruction is tested on MacOS only.
1. **Clone the Repository:**
```
git clone https://github.com/janhq/jan
git checkout feature/hackathon-refactor-jan-into-electron-app
cd jan/app
```
2. **Install dependencies:**
```
yarn install
```
3. **Download Model and copy to userdata directory** (this is a hacky step, will be remove in future versions)
```
# Determining the path to save model with /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/jan-web/
mkdir /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/jan-web
# Now download the model to correct location by running command
wget -O /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/jan-web/llama-2-7b-chat.gguf.q4_0.bin https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7b-Chat-GGUF/resolve/main/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_0.gguf
```
4. **Run development and Using Jan Desktop**
```
yarn electron:start
```
This will start the development server and open the desktop app.
In this step, there are a few notification about installing base plugin, just click `OK` and `Next` to continue.

git clone https://github.com/janhq/jan
git checkout feature/hackathon-refactor-jan-into-electron-app
cd jan/app
yarn install
# Build the app
yarn electron:build:all
```
This will build the app MacOS m1/m2 for production (with code signing already done) and put the result in `dist` folder.
