Requirements

Parrot requires a current GNU/Linux system, such as Debian Stable.

Download

The current version of Parrot can be downloaded here:

• https://parrot.parts/parrot-releases/current/Parrot.AppImage

Releases are also available on this server:

• https://spacecruft.org/deepcrayon/parrot/releases

Run

It is an AppImage, so it needs to be make executable, then run:

chmod +x Parrot.AppImage
./Parrot.AppImage

Notice

At present, not all parts of Parrot are ready.

Main components:

• IDE (text/code editor).
• IDE AI extension.
• AI extension server.
• AI inference engine server.
• AI model.
• Search server.

What nominally works:

• IDE (text/code editor).
• IDE AI extension.
• AI extension server.

What is missing:

• AI inference engine server.
• AI model.
• Search server.

AI Server

Parrot is missing the AI server. It can be made to work, by running your own AI server and model. That would require, in sum:

• Find a libre model.
• git clone llama.cpp
• Build llama.cpp.
• Run llama.cpp server.

Running the server like this, with GGUF model (see: TheBloke).

cd llama.cpp/build

./bin/server -c 4096 --host 127.0.0.1 -t 16 mymodel.gguf

For GPU, add perhaps overkill, like:

--n-gpu-layers 1024

2 - Overview

Parrot is a Libre AI IDE.

• An IDE is an editor. It is a software application that makes it easy for humans to edit computer source code.

• AI adds “artificial intelligence” to the application, which may help the human write code.

• Libre means all of the source code is under a free software license, as defined by the Free Software Foundation. Examples: AGPL, MIT.

• Libre means all of the AI models are under a free content license compatible with Wikipedia. Example: CC by SA.
