Nitro

Nitro is a high-efficiency C++ inference engine for edge computing. It is lightweight and embeddable, and can be used on its own within your own projects.

Troubleshooting

As Jan is in development mode, you might get stuck on a broken build.

To reset your installation:

  1. Use the following commands to remove any dangling backend processes:

    ps aux | grep nitro
    

    Look for processes like "nitro" and "nitro_arm_64," and kill them one by one with:

    kill -9 <PID>
    
  2. Remove Jan from your Applications folder and Cache folder

    make clean
    

    This will remove all build artifacts and cached files:

    • Delete Jan extension from your ~/jan/extensions folder
    • Delete all node_modules in current folder
    • Clear Application cache in ~/Library/Caches/jan

Requirements for running Jan

  • MacOS: 13 or higher
  • Windows:
    • Windows 10 or higher
    • To enable GPU support:
      • Nvidia GPU with CUDA Toolkit 11.7 or higher
      • Nvidia driver 470.63.01 or higher
  • Linux:
    • glibc 2.27 or higher (check with ldd --version)
    • gcc 11, g++ 11, cpp 11 or higher, refer to this link for more information
    • To enable GPU support:
      • Nvidia GPU with CUDA Toolkit 11.7 or higher
      • Nvidia driver 470.63.01 or higher

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please read the CONTRIBUTING.md file

Pre-requisites

  • node >= 20.0.0
  • yarn >= 1.22.0
  • make >= 3.81

Instructions

  1. Clone the repository and prepare:

    git clone https://github.com/janhq/jan
    cd jan
    git checkout -b DESIRED_BRANCH
    
  2. Run development and use Jan Desktop

    make dev
    

This will start the development server and open the desktop app.

  1. (Optional) Run the API server without frontend

    yarn dev:server
    

For production build

# Do steps 1 and 2 in the previous section
# Build the app
make build

This will build the app MacOS m1/m2 for production (with code signing already done) and put the result in dist folder.

Docker mode

  • Supported OS: Linux, WSL2 Docker

  • Pre-requisites:

    • Docker Engine and Docker Compose are required to run Jan in Docker mode. Follow the instructions below to get started with Docker Engine on Ubuntu.

      curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
      sudo sh ./get-docker.sh --dry-run
      
    • If you intend to run Jan in GPU mode, you need to install nvidia-driver and nvidia-docker2. Follow the instruction here for installation.

  • Run Jan in Docker mode

    User can choose between docker-compose.yml with latest prebuilt docker image or docker-compose-dev.yml with local docker build

    • Step 2: Visit NVIDIA NGC Catalog and find the smallest minor version of image tag that matches your CUDA version (e.g., 12.1 -> 12.1.0)

    • Step 3: Update the Dockerfile.gpu line number 5 with the latest minor version of the image tag from step 2 (e.g. change FROM nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04 AS base to FROM nvidia/cuda:12.1.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04 AS base)

    • Step 4: Run command to start Jan in GPU mode

      # GPU mode with default file system
      docker compose --profile gpu-fs up -d
      
      # GPU mode with S3 file system
      docker compose --profile gpu-s3fs up -d
      

This will start the web server and you can access Jan at http://localhost:3000.

Note: RAG feature is not supported in Docker mode with s3fs yet.
