+= setup_instructlab
+
+This role will install instructlab on a RHEL or Fedora machine.
+Currently it is opininated and assumes that the machine has an Nvidia GPU and CUDA
+
+It currently supports:
+
+- RHEL 9 (tested aginst RHEL 9.3)
+- Fedora (tested against Fedora 39)
+
+In addition it stores a small number of pre-requsities (e.g. `gcc`) that are required for the installation of the NVIDIA drivers and CUDA Toolkit.
+
+== Role Variables
+
+This role is entirely self container ie is _fire and forget_ and does not require any variables to be set.
+
+However the following link:./defaults/main.yml[variables] can be set to control the installation:
++
+
+[source,sh]
+----
+
+setup_instructlab_repo_url: "https://github.com/instructlab/instructlab"
+setup_instructlab_taxonomy_repo_url: "https://github.com/instructlab/taxonomy"

+
+setup_instructlab_developer_packages:
+  - g++
+  - gcc
+  - git
+  - make
+  - python3.11
+----
+
+== Dependencies
+
+None
+
+== Example Playbook
+
+Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

+- answer: InstructLab is a model-agnostic open source AI project that facilitates
+    contributions to Large Language Models (LLMs).
+    We are on a mission to let anyone shape generative AI by enabling contributed
+    updates to existing LLMs in an accessible way. Our community welcomes all those who
+    would like to help us enable everyone to shape the future of generative AI.
+  question: What is InstructLab?
+- answer: Check out the Instructlab Community README to get started
+    with using and contributing to the project.
+    If you want to jump right in, head to the InstructLab CLI
+    documentation to get InstructLab set up and running.
+    Learn more about the skills and knowledge you can add to models.
+    You may wish to read through the project's FAQ to get more familiar
+    with all aspects of InstructLab. You can find all the ways to
+    collaborate with project maintainers and your fellow users of
+    InstructLab beyond GitHub by visiting our project collaboration page.
+  question: How to get started with InstructLab
+- answer: There are many projects rapidly embracing and extending
+    permissively licensed AI models, but they are faced with three
+    main challenges like Contribution to LLMs is not possible directly.
+    They show up as forks, which forces consumers to choose a “best-fit”
+    model that is not easily extensible. Also, the forks are expensive
+    for model creators to maintain. The ability to contribute ideas is
+    limited by a lack of AI/ML expertise. One has to learn how to fork,
+    train, and refine models to see their idea move forward.
+    This is a high barrier to entry. There is no direct community
+    governance or best practice around review, curation, and
+    distribution of forked models.
+  question: What problems is Instructlab aiming to solve?
+- answer: InstructLab was created by Red Hat and IBM Research.
+  question: Who created Instructlab?
+- answer: The project enables community contributors to add
+    additional "skills" or "knowledge" to a particular model. InstructLab's
+    model-agnostic technology gives model upstreams with sufficient
+    infrastructure resources the ability to create regular builds of
+    their open source licensed models not by rebuilding and retraining
+    the entire model but by composing new skills into it.
+    The community welcomes all those who would like to help enable
+    everyone to shape the future of generative AI.
+  question: How does Instructlab enable community collaboration?
+- answer: Yes, InstructLab is a model-agnostic open source AI project
+    that facilitates contributions to Large Language Models (LLMs).
+  question: Is Instructlab an open source project?
+- answer: InstructLab uses a novel synthetic data-based alignment
+    tuning method for Large Language Models (LLMs.)
+    The "lab" in InstructLab stands for Large-Scale Alignment for ChatBots
+  question: What is the tuning method for Instructlab?
+- answer: The mission of instructlab is to let everyone shape generative AI
+    by enabling contributed updates to existing LLMs in an accessible way.
+    The community welcomes all those who would like to help enable everyone
+    to shape the future of generative AI.
