Installation

Quick Start

# 1. Build C library
cd C-ML
mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j$(nproc)

# 2. Build Python bindings
cd ../python
pip install cffi
python3 cml/build_cffi.py

# 3. Install
pip install -e .

# 4. Verify
python3 -c "import cml; cml.init(); print('ok'); cml.cleanup()"

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • cffi package
  • C-ML library (built via CMake)
  • LLVM 18+ (optional, for JIT backend)

Platform Notes

Linux: sudo apt install python3-dev (Debian/Ubuntu) or sudo pacman -S python (Arch).

macOS: brew install python3. If using Homebrew LLVM: export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix llvm)/lib".

Windows: Use WSL2. Native builds require Visual Studio + CMake.

Library Path

If you get OSError: cannot find libcml.so:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/C-ML/build/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Development Mode

pip install -e ".[dev]"    # editable install
pytest tests/              # run tests
