🛠️ Manual Installation

Step 1: System Dependencies

🐧 Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
build-essential cmake git wget curl pkg-config \
libboost-all-dev libssl-dev nlohmann-json3-dev \
libwebsocketpp-dev python3 python3-pip python3-venv

🍎 macOS

brew install cmake boost openssl nlohmann-json websocketpp python3

Step 2: ONNX Runtime Setup

# Download and install ONNX Runtime
wget https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases/download/v1.16.3/onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.16.3.tgz
tar -xzf onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.16.3.tgz
sudo cp -r onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.16.3/include/* /usr/local/include/
sudo cp -r onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.16.3/lib/* /usr/local/lib/
sudo ldconfig

Step 3: Python Environment

# Create and activate virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv &&source venv/bin/activate
# Install ML dependencies
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
pip install numpy pandas scikit-learn onnx onnxruntime joblib matplotlib seaborn

Step 4: Build & Deploy

# Train ML modelssource venv/bin/activate && python scripts/export_models_to_onnx.py
# Build C++ engine
mkdir build &&cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && make -j$(nproc)# 🎉 Launch the engine
./quantx_engine
