Python environment

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.11"
numpy = "1.24.4"
sentencepiece = "0.1.98"
gguf = ">=0.1.0"
ctransformers = {extras = ["cuda"], version = "^0.2.27"}
nvitop = "^1.3.1"

Problem description

I tried on several terminal (tilix, terminator, default console) and I have the same error everytime:

ERROR: Failed to initialize `curses` (curs_set() returned ERR)

I think this may be the same error : https://github.com/zalando/pg_view/issues/3

Hi @julienlau, have you ever tried to install nvitop in an isolated environment? I have seem this error many times when users install nvitop in a conda environment. You can try to install nvitop via pipx:

pip3 install --upgrade pipx
pipx run nvitop

I also get this error when i try to use nvitop on ssh.

i fixed it by setting the term variable to xterm-256color

I found the fix here:
https://github.com/isontheline/pro.webssh.net/issues/709

If you're in bash, add this line to your .bashrc:

export TERM=xterm-256color
