Installation

Install django-polly and its dependencies:
```
pip install django-polly
```

Add “django_polly” and its dependencies to your INSTALLED_APPS setting in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'daphne',  # Add this before all django apps
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django_polly',  # Add this after all django apps
    'rest_framework', # Required for API views
    'django_json_widget', # Required for JSON widget in admin (optional)
    # ... your other apps ...
]

Configure ASGI in your project’s asgi.py:

import os
from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter
from django_polly.routing import polly_asgi_routes

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'your_project.settings')

# Get the Django ASGI application
django_asgi_app = get_asgi_application()

# Use the Django ASGI application for HTTP requests
polly_asgi_routes["http"] = django_asgi_app

# Create the final ASGI application
application = ProtocolTypeRouter(polly_asgi_routes)

Update your settings.py with the following:

# Add this to specify the ASGI application
ASGI_APPLICATION = 'your_project.asgi.application'
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'your_project.wsgi.application'

# Add this to for daphne
CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'channels.layers.InMemoryChannelLayer'
    }
}

AI_MODELS_PATH = BASE_DIR / 'ai_models' # Add this to specify the path to store AI models

Include the django-polly URLconf in your project urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns += [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('polly/', include('django_polly.urls')),
    # ... other URL patterns ...
]

Run migrations:
```
python manage.py migrate
```

Download an AI model (example using Qwen2):

python manage.py download_model "Qwen2-500M-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf" "https://huggingface.co/lmstudio-community/Qwen2-500M-Instruct-GGUF/resolve/main/Qwen2-500M-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf"

Start the development server:
```
python manage.py runserver
```
