About

Requirements

• Python version >= Python 3.12.
• A GPU with atelast 15GB video memory is essential for running this tool on large datasets.

Setup and Installation

i. Download the repository

Before proceeding to LAiSER, you'd want to follow the steps below to install the required dependencies:

• Clone the repository using

  git clone https://github.com/Micah-Sanders/LAiSER.git

  or download the zip(link) file and extract it.

ii. Install the dependencies

Note

If you intend to use the Jupyter Notebook interface, you can skip this step as the dependencies will be installed seperately in the Google Colab environment.

Install the required dependencies using the command below:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: Python 3.9 or later, preferably 3.12, is expected to be installed on your system. If you don't have Python installed, you can download it from here.

Usage

As of now LAiSER can be used a command line tool or from the Jupyter notebook(Google Colab). The steps to setup the tool are as follows:

Google Colab Setup(preferred)

LAiSER's Jupyter notebook is, currently, the fastest way to get started with the tool. You can access the notebook here

• Once the notebook is imported in google colaboratory, connect to a GPU-accelerated runtime(T4 GPU) and run the cells in the notebook.

Command Line Setup

To use LAiSER as a command line tool, follow the steps below:

• Navigate to the root directory of the repository and run the command below:

  python main.py

Caution

• If you encounter any *.dll file missing errors, make sure you downgrade the pytorch version to 2.2.2.

pip install pytorch=2.2.2
