Pip from source

Use this installation mode if you want the a version from particular GitHub branch (e.g main).

apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsndfile1 ffmpeg
pip install Cython
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo.git@{BRANCH}#egg=nemo_toolkit[all]

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo
cd NeMo
./reinstall.sh

Docker containers:

The easiest way to start training with NeMo is by using NeMo's container. It has all requirements and NeMo 1.0.0rc1 already installed.

docker run --gpus all -it --rm --shm-size=8g \
-p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 --ulimit memlock=-1 --ulimit \
stack=67108864 --device=/dev/snd nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:1.0.0rc1

If you chose to work with main branch, we recommend using NVIDIA's PyTorch container version 21.03-py3 and then installing from GitHub.

docker run --gpus all -it --rm -v <nemo_github_folder>:/NeMo --shm-size=8g \
-p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 --ulimit memlock=-1 --ulimit \
stack=67108864 --device=/dev/snd nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:21.03-py3
