Installation¶

Requirements¶

Python 3.10 or higher
pip

Install from PyPI¶

Lightweight install (no ML dependencies)¶

Good for using ai-suggest, hub, and config validate without downloading PyTorch:

pip install xlmtec

With training support¶

pip install xlmtec[ml]

Installs: torch, transformers, peft, accelerate, bitsandbytes, datasets

With AI provider support¶

pip install xlmtec[claude]    # Anthropic Claude
pip install xlmtec[gemini]    # Google Gemini
pip install xlmtec[codex]     # OpenAI GPT
pip install xlmtec[ai]        # All three providers

Everything¶

pip install xlmtec[full]

Install from source¶

git clone https://github.com/Abdur-azure/xlmtec.git
cd xlmtec
pip install -e ".[full,dev]"

Verify installation¶

xlmtec --version
xlmtec --help

GPU setup (optional)¶

xlmtec works on CPU but training is significantly faster with a CUDA GPU.

# Check if CUDA is available
python -c "import torch; print('CUDA:', torch.cuda.is_available())"

For a specific CUDA version:

# CUDA 11.8
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

# CUDA 12.1
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

HuggingFace token (optional)¶

Required only for uploading models or accessing private repos:

huggingface-cli login
# or
export HF_TOKEN=hf_...
