πŸš€ Installation Guide

1. Get the code
git clone https://github.com/qualcomm/GenieX

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd GenieX

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Official Install Script

Easy Recommended
Prerequisites
  • Python 3 Python is required to use pip.
curl -fsSL https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-geniex/install.sh | sh

Downloads and runs the official install script in one line β€” this handles the full setup automatically.

pip install geniex

Installs the package published on PyPI directly β€” no need to clone the source.

βœ… After installing, open a new terminal and run the program's version command (e.g. --version) to confirm it worked.

3. CMake

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • CMake The tool used to generate build configuration.
  • C/C++ 컴파일러 Windows needs Visual Studio (Community edition, free), macOS needs Xcode Command Line Tools, Linux needs the gcc/g++ package.
cd bindings/android/app/src/main/cpp

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

mkdir build && cd build

Creates a folder to hold the build output and moves into it.

cmake ..

Analyzes the source code and generates build configuration files (must be run inside the build folder).

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

βœ… Check that an executable was created inside the build folder, then run it directly (e.g. ./build/app_name).

4. Maven (Java)

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • JDK (Java) Required to build and run Java projects.
  • Maven The build tool used for the mvn command.
cd bindings/android

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

mvn clean install

Installs dependencies and builds the project using Maven.

βœ… A BUILD SUCCESS message means it worked. The output is created under target/.

5. Gradle (Java/Kotlin)

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • JDK (Java) Required to build and run Java/Kotlin projects.
  • Gradle If the repo includes gradlew (Gradle Wrapper), you don't need to install Gradle separately.
cd bindings/android/app

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

./gradlew build

Builds the project using Gradle.

βœ… A BUILD SUCCESSFUL message means it worked. The output is created under build/.

6. Python

Easy
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Python 3 On Windows, be sure to check 'Add Python to PATH' during installation.
pip install geniex

Installs the package published on PyPI directly β€” no need to clone the source.

βœ… If it runs without errors and prints output in the terminal, it worked.

Pulled directly from this repo's README.

7. Go

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Go The Go compiler and toolchain.
cd bindings/go

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

go build ./...

Compiles the Go program into an executable.

go run .

Runs the Go program directly without a separate build step.

βœ… If the build finishes without errors, it worked. If you used go run ., check the terminal output.

8. Rust

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Rust (rustup) Installing via rustup also installs cargo.
cd sdk/model-manager

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

cargo build --release

Compiles the Rust project.

cargo run

Builds and then immediately runs the program.

βœ… If cargo build finishes without errors, it worked. The executable is created under target/.
