Our recommendation is to use the Hugging Face Neuron Deep Learning AMI (DLAMI). The DLAMI comes with all required libraries pre-packaged for you, including the Optimum Neuron, Neuron Drivers, Transformers, Datasets, and Accelerate.
But it can also be installed using pip as follows:
optimum-neuron for AWS Trainium (trn1) or AWS inferentia2 (inf2)
python -m pip install optimum[neuronx]
optimum-neuron for AWS inferentia (inf1)
python -m pip install optimum[neuron]
Before installing optimum-neuron make sure that you have installed the Neuron driver and tools, check out more detailed guide here.
