## Installation

### Download From Official Releases

You can visit the [Download](https://www.colossalai.org/download) page to download Colossal-AI with pre-built CUDA extensions.


### Download From Source

> The version of Colossal-AI will be in line with the main branch of the repository. Feel free to raise an issue if you encounter any problem. :)

```shell
git clone https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI.git
cd ColossalAI

# install dependency
pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt

## Use Docker

### Pull from DockerHub

You can directly pull the docker image from our [DockerHub page](https://hub.docker.com/r/hpcaitech/colossalai). The image is automatically uploaded upon release.


### Build On Your Own

Run the following command to build a docker image from Dockerfile provided.

> Building Colossal-AI from scratch requires GPU support, you need to use Nvidia Docker Runtime as the default when doing `docker build`. More details can be found [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59691207/docker-build-with-nvidia-runtime).
> We recommend you install Colossal-AI from our [project page](https://www.colossalai.org) directly.


```bash
cd ColossalAI
docker build -t colossalai ./docker
```

Run the following command to start the docker container in interactive mode.

```bash
docker run -ti --gpus all --rm --ipc=host colossalai bash
```
