    - [Support quantize format](#support-quantize-format)

In this document, we will show you how to install and run KTransformers on your local machine. There are two versions:

* V0.2 is the current main branch.
* V0.3 is a preview version only provides binary distribution for now.
* To reproduce our DeepSeek-R1/V3 results, please refer to [Deepseek-R1/V3 Tutorial](./DeepseekR1_V3_tutorial.md) for more detail settings after installation.

## Preparation

Some preparation:

- CUDA 12.1 and above, if you didn't have it yet, you may install from [here](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads).

  ```sh
  # Adding CUDA to PATH
  if [ -d "/usr/local/cuda/bin" ]; then
      export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda/bin
  fi

  if [ -d "/usr/local/cuda/lib64" ]; then
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda/lib64
      # Or you can add it to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as root:
      # echo "/usr/local/cuda-12.x/lib64" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf
      # sudo ldconfig
  fi

  if [ -d "/usr/local/cuda" ]; then
      export CUDA_PATH=$CUDA_PATH:/usr/local/cuda
  fi
  ```
- Linux-x86_64 with gcc, g++>=11 and cmake>=3.25 (using Ubuntu as an example)
- **Note**: The default CMake version in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or higher may not support newer CUDA language dialects (e.g., CUDA 20). This can cause errors such as Target "cmTC_xxxxxx" requires the language dialect "CUDA20", but CMake does not know the compile flags to use to enable it. To resolve this, install a newer CMake version, for instance, by adding the Kitware APT repository.

  ```sh
  sudo apt-get update 
  sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake ninja-build patchelf
  ```
- We recommend using [Miniconda3](https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh) or [Anaconda3](https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2024.10-1-Linux-x86_64.sh) to create a virtual environment with Python=3.11 to run our program. Assuming your Anaconda installation directory is `~/anaconda3`, you should ensure that the version identifier of the GNU C++standard library used by Anaconda includes `GLIBCXX-3.4.32`

  ```sh
  conda create --name ktransformers python=3.11
  conda activate ktransformers # you may need to run ‘conda init’ and reopen shell first

  conda install -c conda-forge libstdcxx-ng # Anaconda provides a package called `libstdcxx-ng` that includes a newer version of `libstdc++`, which can be installed via `conda-forge`.

  strings ~/anaconda3/envs/ktransformers/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX
  ```
- Make sure that PyTorch, packaging, ninja is installed You can also [install previous versions of PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/get-started/previous-versions/)

  ```
  pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126
  pip3 install packaging ninja cpufeature numpy
  ```
- At the same time, you should download and install the corresponding version of flash-attention from https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention/releases.

## Installation

### Attention

If you want to use numa support, not only do you need to set USE_NUMA=1, but you also need to make sure you have installed the libnuma-dev (`sudo apt-get install libnuma-dev` may help you).

[Optional] If you want to use the multi-concurrent version, please install the following dependencies.

```
sudo apt install libtbb-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libaio1 libaio-dev libgflags-dev zlib1g-dev libfmt-dev
```

<!-- 1. ~~Use a Docker image, see [documentation for Docker](./doc/en/Docker.md)~~
   
   >We are working on the latest docker image, please wait for a while.

2. ~~You can install using Pypi (for linux):~~
    > We are working on the latest pypi package, please wait for a while.
   
   ```
   pip install ktransformers --no-build-isolation
   ```
   
   for windows we prepare a pre compiled whl package on [ktransformers-0.2.0+cu125torch24avx2-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl](https://github.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers/releases/download/v0.2.0/ktransformers-0.2.0+cu125torch24avx2-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl), which require cuda-12.5, torch-2.4, python-3.11, more pre compiled package are being produced.  -->

Download source code and compile:

- init source code

  ```sh
  git clone https://github.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers.git
  cd ktransformers
  git submodule update --init --recursive
  ```
- [Optional] If you want to run with website, please [compile the website](./api/server/website.md) before execute ``bash install.sh``
- For Linux

  - For simple install:

    ```shell
    bash install.sh
    ```
  - For those who have two cpu and 1T RAM:

    ```shell
    # Make sure your system has dual sockets and double size RAM than the model's size (e.g. 1T RAM for 512G model)
     apt install libnuma-dev
     export USE_NUMA=1
     bash install.sh # or #make dev_install
    ```
  - For Multi-concurrency with 500G RAM:

    ```shell
    USE_BALANCE_SERVE=1 bash ./install.sh
    ```
  - For Multi-concurrency with two cpu and 1T RAM:

    ```shell
    USE_BALANCE_SERVE=1 USE_NUMA=1 bash ./install.sh
    ```
- For Windows (Windows native temprarily deprecated, please try WSL)

  ```shell
  install.bat
  ```

* If you are developer, you can make use of the makefile to compile and format the code. <br> the detailed usage of makefile is [here](./makefile_usage.md)

<h3>Local Chat</h3>
We provide a simple command-line local chat Python script that you can run for testing.

> Note: this is a very simple test tool only support one round chat without any memory about last input, if you want to try full ability of the model, you may go to [RESTful API and Web UI](#id_666).

<h4>Run Example</h4>

```shell
# Begin from root of your cloned repo!
# Begin from root of your cloned repo!!
# Begin from root of your cloned repo!!! 

# Download mzwing/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF from huggingface
mkdir DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF
cd DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF

wget https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-GGUF/resolve/main/DeepSeek-V2-Lite.Q4_K_M.gguf -O DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat.Q4_K_M.gguf

cd .. # Move to repo's root dir

# Start local chat
python -m ktransformers.local_chat --model_path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat --gguf_path ./DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF

# If you see “OSError: We couldn't connect to 'https://huggingface.co' to load this file”, try：
# GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite
# python  ktransformers.local_chat --model_path ./DeepSeek-V2-Lite --gguf_path ./DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF
```

It features the following arguments:

- `--model_path` (required): Name of the model (such as "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat" which will automatically download configs from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite)). Or if you already got local files  you may directly use that path to initialize the model.

  > Note: <strong>.safetensors</strong> files are not required in the directory. We only need config files to build model and tokenizer.
  >
- `--gguf_path` (required): Path of a directory containing GGUF files which could that can be downloaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/mzwing/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF/tree/main). Note that the directory should only contains GGUF of current model, which means you need one separate directory for each model.
- `--optimize_config_path` (required except for Qwen2Moe and DeepSeek-V2): Path of YAML file containing optimize rules. There are two rule files pre-written in the [ktransformers/optimize/optimize_rules](ktransformers/optimize/optimize_rules) directory for optimizing DeepSeek-V2 and Qwen2-57B-A14, two SOTA MoE models.
- `--max_new_tokens`: Int (default=1000). Maximum number of new tokens to generate.
- `--cpu_infer`: Int (default=10). The number of CPUs used for inference. Should ideally be set to the (total number of cores - 2).

<h3>Start Server</h3>
We provide a server script, which supports multi-concurrency functionality in version v0.2.4.

```
python ktransformers/server/main.py --model_path /mnt/data/models/DeepSeek-V3 --gguf_path /mnt/data/models/DeepSeek-V3-GGUF/DeepSeek-V3-Q4_K_M/ --cpu_infer 62 --optimize_config_path ktransformers/optimize/optimize_rules/DeepSeek-V3-Chat-serve.yaml --port 10002 --chunk_size 256 --max_new_tokens 1024 --max_batch_size 4 --port 10002 --cache_lens 32768 --backend_type balance_serve
```

It features the following arguments:

- `--chunk_size`: Maximum number of tokens processed in a single run by the engine.
- `--cache_lens`: Total length of kvcache allocated by the scheduler. All requests share a kvcache space corresponding to 32768 tokens, and the space occupied will be released after the requests are completed.
- `--backend_type`: `balance_serve` is a multi-concurrency backend engine introduced in version v0.2.4. The original single-concurrency engine is `ktransformers`.
- `--max_batch_size`: Maximum number of requests (prefill + decode) processed in a single run by the engine. (Supported only by `balance_serve`)

<h3>RESTful API and Web UI  </h3>

Start without website:

```sh
ktransformers --model_path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat --gguf_path /path/to/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF --port 10002
```

Start with website:

```sh
ktransformers --model_path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat --gguf_path /path/to/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF  --port 10002 --web True
```

Or you want to start server with transformers, the model_path should include safetensors

```bash
ktransformers --type transformers --model_path /mnt/data/model/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct --port 10002 --web True
```

Access website with url [http://localhost:10002/web/index.html#/chat](http://localhost:10002/web/index.html#/chat) :
