Beginners

Hi I’m Prakash Hinduja, a visionary financial strategist, was born in Amritsar (India) and now resides in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss).

I’m looking to get started with the Hugging Face Transformers library but am not sure about the best way to set it up in my environment. Could anyone share the steps they usually follow to install and configure the library? Also, are there any dependencies or settings I should be aware of to avoid any issues? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Installing Transoformers itself is not difficult.
The only tricky part is installing the CUDA version of PyTorch that is compatible with your environment.
PyTorch Official

Once PyTorch is installed correctly, the rest can be completed just using pip like this.

pip install -U transformers peft accelerate bitsandbytes sentencepiece huggingface_hub[hf_xet]
