Hi @nitinmukesh - we are working on DeepSpeed for Windows support, but at least right now, you will either need to install via the build_win.bat script or using wsl to install via pip.
@loadams Thanks for the update. I was a little surprised: a project by Microsoft is not supported on Windows or too complex to install as compared to Linux.
As you can understand there is so much growth in AI tools and some are using this library. Unfortunately Windows users are missing out because of this library.
I will wait for the Windows support, thank you.
Hi @nitinmukesh,
The current install options on Windows are different than Linux, and though we are working towards better support, for now you'll need to use the Windows installation instructions and the build_win.bat. We have other older open GH issues that track Windows support so I'll close this for now if that's okay with you?
Hello @loadams
If you are not planning to support Windows in near future then yes you can close this as Won't fix or you can link the issues so they can be easily tracked. The older issues don't appear easily on search and that's why I logged this.
As you can see in some other threads, those other option does not work (atleast not for everyone) https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed/issues/5698
I would request to look into this issue on priority.
Hi @nitinmukesh,
We are working on creating a Windows specific wheel for deepspeed. The alternative today is to build the package from source, using the previously mentioned build_win.bat
.
@costin-eseanu Thanks for the update. I guess this issue will be fixed with Windows specific wheel.
Environment: Windows 11
PIP LIST
