To run these steps you will need to have the nvcc compiler installed that comes with a CUDA installation. If you use anaconda (recommended) then you can figure out which version of CUDA you are using with PyTorch via the command `conda list | grep cudatoolkit`. Then you can install the nvcc compiler by downloading and installing the same CUDA version from the [CUDA toolkit archive](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive).

For your convenience, there is an installation script in the root directory that installs CUDA 11.1 locally and configures it automatically. After installing you should add the `bin` sub-directory to the `$PATH` variable to make the compiler visible to your system. To do this you can add this to your `.bashrc` by executing these commands:
You can install CUDA locally without sudo by following the following steps:
# EXPORT_TO_BASH in {0, 1} with 0=False and 1=True
# For example, the following installs CUDA 11.7 to ~/local/cuda-11.7 and exports the path to your .bashrc
bash cuda install 117 ~/local 1
```
```
By default, the Makefile will look at your `CUDA_HOME` environmental variable to find your CUDA version for compiling the library. If this path is not set it is inferred from the path of your `nvcc` compiler.

Either `nvcc` needs to be in path for the `CUDA_HOME` variable needs to be set to the CUDA directory root (e.g. `/usr/local/cuda`) in order for compilation to succeed

If you type `nvcc` and it cannot be found, you might need to add to your path or set the CUDA_HOME variable. You can run `python -m bitsandbytes` to find the path to CUDA. For example if `python -m bitsandbytes` shows you the following:
