Quick Start

In this quick start guide, you can learn how to install FedScale after cloning it from source.

Quick Installation (Linux)

You can simply run install.sh.

source install.sh # Add `--cuda` if you want CUDA 
pip install -e .

Update install.sh if you prefer different versions of conda/CUDA.

Installation from Source (Linux/MacOS)

If you have Anaconda installed and cloned FedScale, here are the instructions.

cd FedScale

# Please replace ~/.bashrc with ~/.bash_profile for MacOS
echo export FEDSCALE_HOME=$(pwd) >> ~/.bashrc 
echo alias fedscale=\'bash $FEDSCALE_HOME/fedscale.sh\' >> ~/.bashrc 
conda init bash
. ~/.bashrc

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate fedscale
pip install -e .

Please remember to install NVIDIA CUDA 10.2 or above if you want to use FedScale with GPU support.
