๐Ÿš€ Installation Guide

1. Get the code
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd apex

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Official Install Script

Easy Recommended
Prerequisites
  • Python 3 Python is required to use pip.
pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --no-build-isolation --config-settings "--build-option=--cpp_ext" --config-settings "--build-option=--cuda_ext" ./

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

pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --no-build-isolation --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./

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

pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --no-build-isolation --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" --global-option="--group_norm" ./

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

pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-build-isolation --no-cache-dir ./

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

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

3. Docker

Easy
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Docker Desktop Needed to build and run containers. Install it and keep it running in the background.
docker build -f examples/docker/Dockerfile -t apex .

Builds a runnable image based on the Dockerfile.

docker run -p 8080:80 apex

Runs the built image as an actual container.

โœ… Run docker compose ps to check the containers are Up. If the README mentions a port, open http://localhost:PORT in your browser.

4. 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.
APEX_CPP_EXT=1 APEX_CUDA_EXT=1 pip install -v --no-build-isolation .

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

APEX_CPP_EXT=1 APEX_CUDA_EXT=1 APEX_FUSED_CONV_BIAS_RELU=1 pip install -v --no-build-isolation .

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

APEX_CPP_EXT=1 APEX_CUDA_EXT=1 APEX_ALL_CONTRIB_EXT=1 pip install -v --no-build-isolation .

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

NVCC_APPEND_FLAGS="--threads 4" APEX_PARALLEL_BUILD=8 APEX_CPP_EXT=1 APEX_CUDA_EXT=1 pip install -v --no-build-isolation .

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --no-build-isolation --config-settings "--build-option=--cpp_ext" --config-settings "--build-option=--cuda_ext" ./

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

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

5. Make

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).
cd docs

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

make

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

โœ… If it finishes without errors, it worked. Try running the generated executable directly.
