SKY — WINDOWS PC SETUP GUIDE
=============================

IMPORTANT: This is a setup package, not a signed one-click .exe installer.
Review files before running them.

WHAT YOU NEED
- Windows 10/11
- Python 3.12 (recommended for this project)
- Ollama
- Internet for first-time downloads

1. PREPARE THE SKY PROJECT
Extract your existing SKY project into a folder such as C:\Users\<your-name>\SKY.
Make sure sky_app.py and requirements.txt are in that folder. Back up a working copy before replacing files.

2. INSTALL PYTHON
Download: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
During installation, enable "Add Python to PATH".
Check in Command Prompt: py -3.12 --version

3. INSTALL OLLAMA
Download: https://ollama.com/download/windows
Then run: ollama pull qwen2.5:3b
This downloads the local model and may take a while.

4. INSTALL SKY REQUIREMENTS
Open Command Prompt in the folder containing sky_app.py and requirements.txt.
Run: py -3.12 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

5. START SKY
Run: py -3.12 sky_app.py
Or copy START_SKY.bat into that project folder and double-click it.

TROUBLESHOOTING
- "py is not recognized": reinstall Python and enable Add Python to PATH.
- "ollama is not recognized": install Ollama, then reopen Command Prompt.
- Model errors: run `ollama pull qwen2.5:3b` again.
- Package errors: rerun the requirements install command.
- Startup crash: keep the full error message and troubleshoot before deleting files.

PRIVACY
The model is intended to run locally through Ollama. Internet is still needed to download software, packages, and the model. Review code and configuration before using private information.
