🚀 Quick Start

Basic Steps

First, download the executable file that matches your device system from the Release, then follow the tutorial below to choose between the desktop version or non-desktop version, and place it in an empty folder. Downloading the software into an empty folder is recommended as it will generate some directories after running, making it easier to manage.

【For the desktop version, i.e., release files with "desktop" in the name, see here】
The desktop version is newly released to address the issue of novice users struggling to edit configuration files correctly, and there are still some bugs, ongoing updates.

1. Double-click the file to start using it (the desktop version also requires configuration within the software).

【For the non-desktop version, i.e., release files without "desktop" in the name, see here】
The non-desktop version is the initial version, with a more complex configuration but stable functionality, suitable for server deployment as it provides a UI via web.

1. Create a config folder within the directory, then create a config.toml file inside the config folder. Copy the contents of the config-example.toml file from the source code config directory into config.toml, and fill in your configuration information accordingly.
2. Double-click or execute the executable file in the terminal to start the service.
3. Open your browser and enter http://127.0.0.1:8888 to start using it (replace 8888 with the port you filled in the configuration file).

To: macOS Users

【For the desktop version, i.e., release files with "desktop" in the name, see here】
Due to signing issues, the desktop version currently cannot be run directly by double-clicking or installed via DMG; you need to manually trust the application. The method is as follows:

1. Open the terminal in the directory where the executable file (assuming the file name is KrillinAI_1.0.0_desktop_macOS_arm64) is located.
2. Execute the following commands in order:

sudo xattr -cr ./KrillinAI_1.0.0_desktop_macOS_arm64
sudo chmod +x ./KrillinAI_1.0.0_desktop_macOS_arm64 
./KrillinAI_1.0.0_desktop_macOS_arm64

【For the non-desktop version, i.e., release files without "desktop" in the name, see here】
This software is not signed, so when running on macOS, after completing the file configuration in the "Basic Steps," you also need to manually trust the application. The method is as follows:

1. Open the terminal in the directory where the executable file (assuming the file name is KrillinAI_1.0.0_macOS_arm64) is located.
2. Execute the following commands in order:

    sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ./KrillinAI_1.0.0_macOS_arm64
    sudo chmod +x ./KrillinAI_1.0.0_macOS_arm64
    ./KrillinAI_1.0.0_macOS_arm64
   

   This will start the service.

Docker Deployment

This project supports Docker deployment; please refer to the Docker Deployment Instructions.

Cookie Configuration Instructions (Optional)

If you encounter issues with video downloads failing,

please refer to the Cookie Configuration Instructions to configure your Cookie information.

Configuration Help (Must Read)

The quickest and easiest configuration method:

• Set both transcription_provider and llm_provider to openai, so you only need to fill in openai.apikey in the three configuration categories below: openai, local_model, and aliyun. (app.proxy, model, and openai.base_url can be filled in as needed).

Using a local language recognition model (not yet supported on macOS) configuration method (balancing cost, speed, and quality):

• Set transcription_provider to fasterwhisper and llm_provider to openai, so you only need to fill in openai.apikey and local_model.faster_whisper in the three configuration categories below: openai and local_model. The local model will be downloaded automatically. (app.proxy and openai.base_url as above).

For the following usage scenarios, Alibaba Cloud configuration is required:

• If llm_provider is set to aliyun, you need to use Alibaba Cloud's large model service, so you need to configure the aliyun.bailian item.
• If transcription_provider is set to aliyun, or if the "Dubbing" feature is enabled when starting a task, you need to use Alibaba Cloud's speech service, so you need to fill in the aliyun.speech item.
• If the "Dubbing" feature is enabled and you have uploaded local audio for voice cloning, you will also need to use Alibaba Cloud's OSS cloud storage service, so you need to fill in the aliyun.oss item.
