What is the Universal Runtime option?

The --runtime flag starts an additional layer for local embedding models (like nomic-embed-text), ML inference, and OCR capabilities.

What happens if the default port is occupied?

The skill identifies the conflicting process and suggests either killing the existing process or starting LlamaFarm on a different port using environment variables.

Does this command automatically install LlamaFarm?

The skill checks for the LlamaFarm CLI and provides specific installation instructions via Homebrew or GitHub releases if the tool is not found.
