Installation

Prerequisites

Engine specific

To ensure safe and efficient execution of translated code for evaluation, the CodeTransEngine relies on Singularity containers. Additionally, Go is required for installing the CodeTransEngine.

Before proceeding, please make sure the necessary prerequisites are installed. Use the following guides to complete the installation:

• 🔗 Guide to Installing Go
• 🔗 Guide to Installing Singularity

Inference backend

You can use the OpenAI API or any other inference tool that is compatible with OpenAI API specification. We officially support vLLM, and we recommend it to be used as the inference backend. Other alternatives that we have not tested but should be compatible include HuggingFace Text Generation Interface and LiteLLM.
