Installation

Installing lightstream

Installing the lightstream package can be done via pip: 

pip install lightstream

Alternative, the project can be cloned using git from the lightstream git repo. From there, the package can again be installed using pip install . within the directory. Otherwise, you can use the repository as-is, but you will have to add it to your PYTHONPATH if you want to access it from other repositories.

Installing (Py)vips

Before pyvips can be installed, libvips must be present on the system, as pyvips is a Python wrapper around the libvips library. Libvips can be installed either using the binaries on the libvips website, or it can be built from source with or without Docker. After libvips is properly installed, pyvips can be installed via pip: 

pip install pyvips

Installing torch and its related libraries (lightning, torchvision) can be done via pip installs. We recommend looking at their respective websites for further help to install these packages.
