Installation Instructions

Tike is build on the CuPy framework which uses NVidia CUDA to accelerate computation. Thus, a CUDA compatible GPU on Windows_x64 or Linux_x64 is required. Other platforms are not supported at this time.

From the conda-forge channel using Conda

In theory, tike is available via conda from the conda-forge channel. However, this distribution will only be updated sporadically and is not recommended at this time.

From the source code

The build and runtime requirements are listed in requirements.txt. Install these packages before installing tike; pip will not install them automatically.

Install the package using typical installation methods: navigate to the directory with setup.cfg and ask pip to install tike.

pip install .

The -e option for pip install makes the installation editable; this means whenever you import tike, any changes that you make to the source code will be included.
