### Windows support
Windows support is experimental, and Linux is recommended. If you wish to install Apex in Windows, there are two requirements:
1. Apex must be installed in the same Conda environment as Pytorch.
2. Building Apex requires the same Visual Studio environment settings as [building Pytorch from source](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch#install-pytorch):
```
cd apex_dir
set "VS150COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary\Build"
