Windows Support needed

Open omnific9 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug The current ludwig does not seem to work on Windows, as the underlying bitsandbytes library does not work on Windows. There are third-party compilations of bitsandbytes. Would you please consider updating this library so that ludwig can be run on Windows?

To Reproduce Run the notebook on Windows

Expected behavior Should work

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows

Hi @omnific9! Thanks for raising this issue.

Do you have links to third party compilations that work on windows?

@arnavgarg1 bear with me as I explain this:

I believe this worked for me

pip install bitsandbytes --prefer-binary --extra-index-url=https://jllllll.github.io/bitsandbytes-windows-webui

However, in the interim I also tried https://pypi.org/project/bitsandbytes-windows/

While I'm 80% sure the former method works, there's a chance that the latter one works. You might need to try both. I tried so much stuff that my memory has become a bit blurry.

Thanks for your attention!
