cli_app/README.md

Windows CLI Application

This folder contains a standalone command line interface for interacting with llm-backend. The application uses Typer for a simple user experience and can be packaged into a single Windows executable using PyInstaller.

Running from source

python -m cli_app --user yourname

Building the executable

1. Install PyInstaller:

   pip install pyinstaller
   

2. Build the app:

   pyinstaller --onefile -n StarletteAI cli_app/main.py
   

   The resulting StarletteAI.exe will appear in the dist directory.

The executable can be distributed on Windows 10/11 systems without requiring a Python installation.
