These are automated installers for oobabooga/text-generation-webui.
The idea is to allow people to use the program without having to type commands in the terminal, thus making it more accessible.
The start scripts download miniconda, create a conda environment inside the current folder, and then install the webui using that environment.
After the initial installation, the update scripts are then used to automatically pull the latest text-generation-webui code and upgrade its requirements.
- The start/update scripts themselves are not automatically updated. To update them, you have to re-download the zips listed on the main README and overwrite your existing files.
