Question about aihwkit install

[YuqiL1]

Description

I have met some bug when i am installing aihwkit on my computer, and i would like to use the cpu. Thus, I started by following the installation instructions. I have typically installed requirements by:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
$ pip install -r requirements-examples.txt
and then i use' pip install awhikit', I get the output:

pip install.txt

And then I use 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace -DUSE_CUDA=OFF'. I get the output:

Hi @YuqiL1,
You need to install either openblas or mkl to be able to compile it. Please take a look at the installation instructions.

[jubueche]

@YuqiL1 did you manage to install it?

[Raghucharan16]

when i'm installing aihwkit via pip install command i'm getting _lzma module not found. I was trying to setup a nn using aihwkit on mnist data. so how can properly install it or which python version perfectly supports it. I'm getting torch and torchvision dependency errors since aihwkit needs torch 2.0.1 but torchvision needs torch 2.3 and if all were installed i'm getting _lzma module not found. I also installed lzma in my ubuntu by sudp apt install aihwkit.

[maljoras-sony]

There is no torch version requirements really. Maybe try to compile aihwkit directly from the repository. It should work just fine with torch 2.3
