## Installation

Options depending on how you prefer to run it:

- From source (installs CLI):
  - Clone this repo, then run: `pip install .`
  - Or use pipx for isolation: `pipx install .`
- From source without installing the package:
  - `pip install -r requirements.txt`
  - Run with: `python -m ollamarama --config config.json`

After installation, use the `ollamarama-matrix` command. For E2E encryption, ensure `libolm` is installed; see [Operations & E2E](docs/operations.md).

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

Install and familiarize yourself with Ollama to run local LLMs.

```bash
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
```

Pull at least one model (recommended):

```bash
ollama pull qwen3
```

For deeper setup and verification steps, see [Ollama Setup](docs/ollama.md).

### 1) Install dependencies

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 2) Configure

Create or edit `config.json` at the repo root. See [Configuration](docs/configuration.md) for a minimal example, full schema, and validation guidance.

### 3) Run

Preferred (installed command):

```bash
ollamarama-matrix --config config.json
```

Fetch models from the server (ignores `ollama.models` in config):

```bash
ollamarama-matrix --config config.json --server-models
```

Short form:

```bash
ollamarama-matrix -S --config config.json
```

Alternatively, run as a module:

```bash
python -m ollamarama --config config.json
```

### 4) Try It

- The bot logs in and joins the rooms listed in `matrix.channels`
- Send `.ai hello` or `BotName: hello` in a joined room
- The bot replies and maintains per‑user history
- Invites to other rooms are declined automatically (the bot replies and leaves)

## Usage Guide

Common commands (see [Commands](docs/commands.md) for the full list):

| Command | Description | Example |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `.ai <message>` or `botname: <message>` | Chat with the AI | `.ai Hello there!` |
| `.x <user> <message>` | Continue another user's conversation | `.x Alice What did we discuss?` |
| `.persona <text>` | Change your personality | `.persona helpful librarian` |
| `.custom <prompt>` | Use a custom system prompt | `.custom You are a coding expert` |
| `.reset` / `.stock` | Clear history (default/stock prompt) | `.reset` |
| `.history [on,off,toggle]` | Enable or disable your conversation history | `.history off` |
| `.model [name]` (admin) | Show/change model | `.model qwen3` |
| `.clear` (admin) | Reset globally for all users | `.clear` |
| `.help` | Show inline help | `.help` |
| `.verbose [on,off,toggle]` (admin) | Control inclusion of brevity clause for new conversations | `.verbose on` |
| `.thinking [on,off,toggle]` (admin) | Show or hide the thinking placeholder while generating | `.thinking off` |

## Encryption Support

- Works in encrypted Matrix rooms using `matrix-nio[e2e]` with device verification.
- Requires `libolm` available to Python for E2E. If unavailable, you can run without E2E; see [Getting Started](docs/getting-started.md) (Install Dependencies).
- Persist the `store/` directory to retain device keys and encryption state.
