# genie-app Sample Code Tutorial

## Prerequisite

**Linux**: Building *genie-app* is independent of *libGenie.so* and these targets can be built in any order. However, *libGenie.so* will be required for the successful execution of *genie-app*

**Windows**: Building *genie-app.exe* is dependent on *Genie.lib*. Prior to building *genie-app.exe*, we must first copy *Genie.lib* to the build app’s directory to ensure the linker is able to locate this dependency.

Aside from the target-specific libraries and config files required for any Genie SDK application, *genie-app* requires a script file. The below section shows an example script file that enables execution of the Llama2-7b model.

## Building genie-app

**x86**

cd ${SDK_ROOT}/examples/Genie/genie-app
    make x86
    Copy to clipboard

After executing make as shown above, you should be able to see **genie-app** in `bin/x86_64-linux-clang`

**OE**

unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    source PATH_OF_OE_LINUX_GCC_11.2/environment-setup-armv8a-oe-linux
    cd ${SDK_ROOT}/examples/Genie/genie-app
    make oe
    Copy to clipboard

After executing make as shown above, you should be able to see **genie-app** in `bin/aarch64-oe-linux-gcc11.2`

**Android**

cd ${SDK_ROOT}/examples/Genie/genie-app
    make android
    Copy to clipboard

After executing make as shown above, you should be able to see **genie-app** in `bin/aarch64-android`

**Windows**

Open the **Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio** and run the following commands:

cd ${SDK_ROOT}/examples/Genie/genie-app
    mkdir build & cd build
    cmake ../ -A <x64, ARM64>
    cmake --build ./ --config Release
    Copy to clipboard

After executing CMake as shown above, you should be able to see **genie-app.exe** in `bin/Release`

## Sample script file

# Version
    version
    
    # Profile creation
    profile create profile1
    ls
    
    # Dialog creation
    dialog config create config1 llama2-7b-genaitransformer.json
    dialog config bind profile config1 profile1
    dialog create dialog1 config1
    ls
    
    # Queries
    dialog query dialog1 "Here's a summary of llamas in 10 words."
    
    # Save profiling data
    profile save profile1 vinay.json
    
    # Clean up
    dialog config free config1
    dialog free dialog1
    profile free profile1
    ls
    
    # Sleep for 5000 ms
    sleep 5000
    
    # Loop through 5 iterations
    loop 5
    
    # Profile creation
    profile create profile1
    ls
    
    # Dialog creation
    dialog config create config1 llama2-7b-genaitransformer.json
    dialog config bind profile config1 profile1
    dialog create dialog1 config1
    ls
    
    # Queries
    dialog query dialog1 "Here's a summary of llamas in 10 words."
    
    # Save profiling data
    profile save profile1 profiling_data.json
    
    # Clean up
    dialog config free config1
    dialog free dialog1
    profile free profile1
    
    # End Loop
    endloop
    
    # Exit
    exit
    Copy to clipboard

Now, we can proceed to executing our script file with genie-app.

## Executing sample genie-app

Running genie-app is very straightforward. As shown below, simply provide the script file via the -s argument and
that’s it! You should now be able to observe the sequential execution of each command in your script file as well
as any helpful comments you may have provided. Congrats!

genie-app -s script_file
