Does InstructLab support offline training?

[orgC]

I am trying to train a model in an offline environment and encountered an issue. Below are the steps I followed:

I executed the following command:

ilab model train --local --data-path ~/.local/share/instructlab/datasets/knowledge_train_msgs_2024-12-24T17_57_37.jsonl

However, I received the following error message:

...

    config_dict, kwargs = cls._get_config_dict(pretrained_model_name_or_path, **kwargs)
