Installation

How Do I Install Legate

Legate Core is available from conda on the legate channel. Please make sure you have at least conda version 24.1 installed, then create a new environment containing Legate Core:

conda create -n myenv -c conda-forge -c legate legate-core

or install it into an existing environment:

conda install -c conda-forge -c legate legate-core

Only linux-64 packages are available at the moment.

The default package contains GPU support, and is compatible with CUDA >= 12.0 (CUDA driver version >= r520), and Volta or later GPU architectures. There are also CPU-only packages available, and will be automatically selected when installing on a machine without GPUs. You can force installation of a CPU-only package by requesting it as follows:

conda ... legate-core=*=*_cpu

Installation of the Legate IPython Kernel

Please install Legate, then run the following command to install a default Jupyter kernel:

legate-jupyter

If installation is successful, you will see some output like the following:

Jupyter kernel spec Legate_SM_GPU (Legate_SM_GPU) has been installed

Legate_SM_GPU is the default kernel name.
