Build and Install from Source

To build and install HeteroCL from source, please follow the following steps.

  1. Create a virtual environment with conda (e.g., Anaconda or miniconda)

  2. Download the source code from GitHub. For developers, please fork from the repo instead.

git clone https://github.com/cornell-zhang/heterocl.git

  1. (Optional) Specify the CMake and/or LLVM path in Makefile.config. For instance

# set your own path to llvm-config
LLVM_CONFIG = /path/to/llvm-config

  1. Run make to build and install HeteroCL

make -j8

For Developers

  1. Set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to reflect the modifications of Python files

export PYTHONPATH=$HCL_HOME/python:$HCL_HOME/hlib/python

  1. Run make under tvm to reflect the modification of C source files

make -C tvm
