I installed llama3 locally on my laptop (Arch Linux), I installed all the models :P (8B,8B -Instructed,7B, 7b-Instructed). And in order to install llama, I simply followed the procedure given on the meta's llama3 repository. So now I have this base conda environment activated by default. I find it a little bit strange. I am afraid what are the affects of always having this base env activated. I know I can "denitialize" (by deleteing all the changes in the .bashrc) or go conda deactivate. But I would like to know whether I need to do anything about that. Also I have no clue how am supposed to use llama3. I find it a little bit complicated to use. Would appreciate any links to nice docs.

For more context, I installed llama in a different env called "llama", not in base.

And I rarely code in python.

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

I would like to add that I don't understand what exactly a conda env is

I don't think its anything like a python virtual env, as I can still access things outside my env

A conda env is straight up a python virtual env.

if you've made a virtual environment in python without conda, just don't use conda.

#

also, what are you trying to do with llama3? are you sure you have enough GPU memory for it?
