## Quick Start

Most users should install a [pre-built package](docs/INSTALL.md). The steps below are for building from source.

```bash

---

# Install Vulkan runtime (if not already installed)

---

# Install CUDA toolkit first, then:
cargo build --release --features gpu-cuda
```

**Metal (macOS/Apple Silicon)**
```bash
cargo build --release --features gpu-metal
```

**HIP/ROCm (AMD alternative)**
```bash
cargo build --release --features gpu-hipblas
```

---

### System Requirements

- **Linux** with glibc 2.38+ (Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 39+, Arch, Debian Trixie+)
- **Wayland or X11** desktop (GNOME, KDE, Sway, Hyprland, River, i3, etc.)

---

# Install Rust if needed
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
