Notes: Alternative ways to install dependencies (prebuilt wheels, etc.)

[bact]

Just a note on alternative ways to install dependencies.

PyTorch

• torch wheels http://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch/
• wheels for torch dependencies https://download.pytorch.org/whl

PyICU

• pyicu wheels https://github.com/cgohlke/pyicu-build/releases/
• macOS:

  brew install icu4c
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix)/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig
  echo "PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}" >> "${GITHUB_ENV}"
  ICU_VER=$(pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n)
  echo "ICU_VER=${ICU_VER}"
  echo "ICU_VER=${ICU_VER}" >> "${GITHUB_ENV}"

Notes

• Be aware that bash -l {0} in GitHub Actions will make it use a default Python, which can be different from one installed by setup-python and cause problem. (See Cannot use torch binary wheels on GitHub Actions (as default python version is 3.13) pytorch/pytorch#139288 (comment) )
