Installation Guide
==================

Installing with pip
-------------------

**Prerequisites for installation via wheel or PyPI:**

- **Operating System**: Ubuntu 20.04 or later

- **Python Version**: >= 3.8

- **CUDA Version**: >= 11.0

The easiest way to install TileLang is directly from PyPI using pip. To install the latest version, run the following command in your terminal:

.. code:: bash

   pip install tilelang

Alternatively, you may choose to install TileLang using prebuilt packages available on the Release Page:

.. code:: bash

   pip install tilelang-0.0.0.dev0+ubuntu.20.4.cu120-py3-none-any.whl

To install the latest version of TileLang from the GitHub repository, you can run the following command:

.. code:: bash

   pip install git+https://github.com/tile-ai/tilelang.git

After installing TileLang, you can verify the installation by running:

.. code:: bash

   python -c "import tilelang; print(tilelang.__version__)"

Building from Source
--------------------

**Prerequisites for building from source:**

- **Operating System**: Linux

- **Python Version**: >= 3.7

- **CUDA Version**: >= 10.0

We recommend using a Docker container with the necessary dependencies to build TileLang from source. You can use the following command to run a Docker container with the required dependencies:

.. code:: bash

   docker run --gpus all -it --rm --ipc=host nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:23.01-py3

To build and install TileLang directly from source, follow these steps. This process requires certain pre-requisites from Apache TVM, which can be installed on Ubuntu/Debian-based systems using the following commands:

.. code:: bash

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools gcc libtinfo-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential cmake libedit-dev libxml2-dev

After installing the prerequisites, you can clone the TileLang repository and install it using pip:

.. code:: bash

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/tile-ai/tilelang.git
   cd TileLang
   pip install .  # Please be patient, this may take some time.

If you want to install TileLang in development mode, you can run the following command:

.. code:: bash

   pip install -e .

We currently provide three methods to install **TileLang**:

1. Install from Source (using your own TVM installation)

2. Install from Source (using the bundled TVM submodule)

3. Install Using the Provided Script


Method 1: Install from Source (Using Your Own TVM Installation)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you already have a compatible TVM installation, follow these steps:

1. **Clone the Repository**:

   .. code:: bash

      git clone --recursive https://github.com/tile-ai/tilelang
      cd TileLang

   **Note**: Use the `--recursive` flag to include necessary submodules.

2. **Configure Build Options**:

   Create a build directory and specify your existing TVM path:

   .. code:: bash

      mkdir build
      cd build
      cmake .. -DTVM_PREBUILD_PATH=/your/path/to/tvm/build  # e.g., /workspace/tvm/build
      make -j 16

3. **Set Environment Variables**:

   Update `PYTHONPATH` to include the `tile-lang` Python module:

   .. code:: bash

      export PYTHONPATH=/your/path/to/tile-lang/python:$PYTHONPATH
      # TVM_IMPORT_PYTHON_PATH is used by 3rd-party frameworks to import TVM
      export TVM_IMPORT_PYTHON_PATH=/your/path/to/tvm/python

Method 2: Install from Source (Using the Bundled TVM Submodule)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you prefer to use the built-in TVM version, follow these instructions:

1. **Clone the Repository**:

   .. code:: bash

      git clone --recursive https://github.com/tile-ai/tilelang
      cd TileLang

   **Note**: Ensure the `--recursive` flag is included to fetch submodules.

2. **Configure Build Options**:

   Copy the configuration file and enable the desired backends (e.g., LLVM and CUDA):

   .. code:: bash

      mkdir build
      cp 3rdparty/tvm/cmake/config.cmake build
      cd build
      echo "set(USE_LLVM ON)" >> config.cmake
      echo "set(USE_CUDA ON)" >> config.cmake 
      # or echo "set(USE_ROCM ON)" >> config.cmake to enable ROCm runtime
      cmake ..
      make -j 16

   The build outputs (e.g., `libtilelang.so`, `libtvm.so`, `libtvm_runtime.so`) will be generated in the `build` directory.

3. **Set Environment Variables**:

   Ensure the `tile-lang` Python package is in your `PYTHONPATH`:

   .. code:: bash

      export PYTHONPATH=/your/path/to/TileLang/python:$PYTHONPATH

Method 3: Install Using the Provided Script
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For a simplified installation, use the provided script:

1. **Clone the Repository**:

   .. code:: bash

      git clone --recursive https://github.com/tile-ai/tilelang
      cd TileLang

2. **Run the Installation Script**:

   .. code:: bash

      bash install.sh
      # or bash `install_amd.sh` if you want to enable ROCm runtime
