Reinstall AI-GENIE Python Environment

Removes and recreates the Python virtual environment with all required dependencies. Use this function if you encounter Python-related errors, want to update Python packages, or need to change the environment configuration.

AIGENIE uses UV (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for fast, reliable Python environment management.

Usage

reinstall_python_env(
  include_huggingface = TRUE,
  include_local_llm = FALSE,
  gpu = FALSE
)

Arguments

include_huggingface

Logical. Include HuggingFace packages (transformers, sentence-transformers, torch). Required for local embeddings with HuggingFace models. Default TRUE.

include_local_llm

Logical. Include llama-cpp-python for running local GGUF models with local_AIGENIE. Default FALSE.

gpu

Logical. Install GPU-enabled PyTorch. Requires CUDA-compatible NVIDIA GPU and proper driver installation. Default FALSE.

Value

Invisible TRUE on success.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Fix Python environment issues
reinstall_python_env()

# Reinstall with GPU support
reinstall_python_env(gpu = TRUE)

# Minimal install (API-only, no HuggingFace - faster)
reinstall_python_env(include_huggingface = FALSE)

# Full install with local LLM support
reinstall_python_env(include_huggingface = TRUE, include_local_llm = TRUE)
} # }
