Specifically the 'Chat locally' part was confusing for me because I didn't have python installed (but I did have 'python3').

For me, the following worked:

  1. create a virtualenv
  2. activate it
  3. install dependencies with pip
  4. python3 guppylm download
  5. python3 guppylm chat

So I added steps 1-2 to the README, and added a chat target to the Makefile to do steps 3-5.

Tested successfully on Mac OS X (uname -a: 25.3.0) and Linux (Debian 13)

@ekoontz ekoontz force-pushed the virtualenv branch 3 times, most recently from c6db256 to 66a648d Compare April 18, 2026 16:14
