Description

Vayu is a productivity supercharger for engineers. The end goal for the tool is to have a multipurpose tool with various tools such as task and note storage, task management, and a pomodoro study timer. As a computer engineering student at UIUC, having an organized optimized system is critical. I hope to bring that to others with vayu.

Installation

The best way to install vayu is via cargo which comes with an installation of rust. For installation of rust navigate to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

Then in Windows PowerShell or the approriate Terminal for your OS type in: cargo install vayu

Additionally Ollama must be installed for LLM based commands at https://ollama.com/.

Then in terminal type in: ollama run phi

You can then exit the terminal once the model has been intalled.

To check if vayu has been installed properly open a new terminal window and type: vayu list

If there is an empty list then congratulations the installation was successful! If not ensure rust is included in your path variable as explained on the rust installation page.
