SHARK User Guide

Warning

This is still pre-release so the artifacts listed here may be broken

These instructions cover the usage of the latest stable release of SHARK. For a more bleeding edge release please install the nightly releases.

Prerequisites

Our current user guide requires that you have:

  • Access to a computer with an installed AMD Instinct™ MI300x Series Accelerator
  • Installed a compatible version of Linux and ROCm on the computer (see the ROCm compatability matrix)

Set up Environment

This section will help you install Python and set up a Python environment with venv.

Officially we support Python versions: 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.13t

The rest of this guide assumes you are using Python 3.11.

Install Python

To install Python 3.11 on Ubuntu:

sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-dev python3.11-venv

which python3.11
# /usr/bin/python3.11

Create a Python Environment

Setup your Python environment with the following commands:

# Set up a virtual environment to isolate packages from other envs.
python3.11 -m venv 3.11.venv
source 3.11.venv/bin/activate

Install SHARK and its dependencies

pip install shark-ai[apps]

Temporarily, you may need an update to your shortfin install. Install the latest pre-release with:

pip install shortfin --upgrade --pre -f https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK-Platform/releases/expanded_assets/dev-wheels

Test the installation.

python -m shortfin_apps.sd.server --help

Quickstart

Run the SDXL Server

Run the SDXL Server

Run the SDXL Client

python -m shortfin_apps.sd.simple_client --interactive

Congratulations!!! At this point you can play around with the server and client based on your usage.
