Installation of sinabs-Exodus could install dependencies

[ssinhaleite]

Sinabs-Exodus depends on torch. Why not have torch listed in the dependencies, so when one does pip install sinabs-exodus it tries to install torch as well?

We tend to leave out the torch requirement because there is/was a complex routine to install the correct version of torch with/without the correct version of CUDA. But perhaps we can for now just make a default installation and leave a note to get the correct version manually installed if the user runs into issues.

I see... I am, indeed, running into many problems when combining Python/torch/cuda versions just to install Exodus.

But we can think of maybe having a fixed setup that we could install all together. And a separate one where the user can define their own versions.
We can discuss this further.

Hi Im using apple silicon m2 which does not support cuda. Thats why I couldnt succeed to install sinabs-exodus. Is there any workaround for apple silicon?

Hi @drader, sinabs-exodus is dependent on CUDA. It uses the Nvidia GPU with Cuda to speed up training and inference.
If your system doesn't have CUDA, you can't install sinabs-exodus.
You can still install sinabs, though. And everything will work the same, just not as fast.
