## Installation

Archai can be installed through various methods, however, it is recommended to utilize a virtual environment such as `conda` or `pyenv` for optimal results.

To install Archai via PyPI, the following command can be executed:

```bash
pip install archai
```

**Archai requires Python 3.8+ and PyTorch 1.7.0+ to function properly.**
