## Installation and Getting Started
- Create and activate a python virtual environment. `Python 3.8` is recommended
  and tested on both `Ubuntu` and `macOS`. `Python 3.10.9` is tested on `macOS`
  with Apple silicon.

  ```
  python3 -m venv env
  source env/bin/activate
  ```
- Install dependencies

  PyTorch 2.0 and above is required. Below we install the cpu version for
  simplicity; CUDA version works too.

  ```
  pip install --upgrade pip
  pip install "torch>=2.0.0" torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
  pip install "octoml-profile>=0.2.0"
  ```

  You've completed installation! (If you have trouble, see [issues with installation](#issues-with-installation))

- Next, try running this very simple example that shows how to integrate octoml-profile into your model code.

  ```python
  import torch
  from torch.nn import Linear, ReLU, Sequential
  from octoml_profile import accelerate, remote_profile

  model = Sequential(Linear(100, 200), ReLU())

  @accelerate
  def predict(x: torch.Tensor):
      return model(x)

  with remote_profile():
      for _ in range(3):
          x = torch.randn(1, 100)
          predict(x)
  ```

- The first time you run this, you'll be prompted to supply your API key.  

  ```
      ,-""-.
    /      \    Welcome to OctoML Profiler!
    :        ;
    \      /    It looks like you don't have an access token configured.
      `.  .'     Please go to https://profiler.app.octoml.ai/ to generate one
    '._.'`._.'   and then paste it here.

  Access token: 
  ```
  (<a href="https://profiler.app.octoml.ai/">Sign up</a> so that you can generate an API token when prompted)

- Once you've provided credentials, running this results in the following
  output that shows times of the function being executed remotely on each
  backend.

  ```
  Function `predict` has 1 profile:
  - Profile `predict[1/1]` ran 3 times. (1 discarded because compilation happened)

  Instance     Processor           Backend              Backend Time (ms)  Total Time (ms)  Cost ($/MReq)
  =======================================================================================================
  r6i.large    Intel Ice Lake CPU  torch-eager-cpu                  0.024            0.086          $0.00

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Total time above is `remote backend time + local python code time`,
  in which local python code run time is 0.062 ms.

### Issues with installation

 - If you are on macOS with Apple silicon and seeing `symbol not found in flat
   namespace '_CFRelease'`, it is likely that you created a `venv` with python
   installed by `conda`. Please make sure to deactivate any `conda`
   environment(s) and use the system-shipped python on macOS to create `venv`.
   Or follow the instructions below to create a conda environment.

    ```
    conda create -n octoml python=3.8
    conda activate octoml
    ```

- If you see a version conflict, please install the pip dependencies above with `--force-reinstall`.

- For any other problems, please file a github issue.
