TERMy installation problem
NPC-Forge is a framework for building conversational agents with distinct personalities, multi-turn context, sentiment analysis, and tool-call support. NPCs run on the CPU (web browser or OS) even on embedded systems and obsolete hardware without relying on machine learning or LLMs. #!/usr/bin/env bash # Clone the forge from the cloud git clone https://github.com/gioblu/NPC-Forge.git # Step into…
The installation issue with TERMy, a conversational agent built using the NPC-Forge framework, was caused by the command "npc-forge" not being recognized. This error occurred even after refreshing the .bashrc script. The temporary fix involved adding the local bin path to the system's PATH variable using the command "export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH".
However, this fix was temporary and the problem persisted. The permanent solution was to clear the old cached paths and rescan the system for the new location of the NPC-Forge framework. This was done by running the command "hash -r". Additionally, it was necessary to check for any broken aliases related to the "termy" command using the command "type termy".
After navigating back to the cloned NPC-Forge folder and ensuring the script "npcs/termy/termy.sh" was executable with "chmod +x", the installation was re-run using "npc-forge install npcs/termy". Finally, the newly installed TERMy was tested by typing "termy how are you", which successfully worked.
