can someone please explain to me like a noob how to install and use Aria? I have python and github desktop. I cloned the repo on github desktop but have no idea what to do next. Thanks

Did you make a python3 environment to install the requirements.txt?

[spnathan1]

I'm not sure how to do that. I tried to do it just now after reading some google results, but am getting nowhere.

[lef-fan]

using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt

then you need to follow installation instructions here:
llama-cpp-python

if you are using docker, you can run the client/server mode of Aria:
docker buildx build --tag ghcr.io/lef-fan/aria-server:latest .

I'm sorry, I'm really bad at this. I have pip installed, but when I open it, the window just disappears.

Could you please be more specific, like what steps you have followed and what is currently the issue?
Thank you.
