Adding nx-cugraph to RAPIDS Install Selector Tool

[nv-rliu]

Closes https://github.com/rapidsai/graph_dl/issues/604 & closes https://github.com/rapidsai/graph_dl/issues/609

In preparation for its stable release, this PR adds NetworkX + nx-cugraph as an option to the RAPIDS Install Selector Tool > Additional Packages.

Proposed changes:

• There note also mentions that nx-cugraph is part of the Standard RAPIDS metapackage.
• Users now have the option to install NetworkX + nx-cugraph via the "Additional Packages" list when installing via conda

• nx-cugraph will be included in the Standard pip installation

Notes for Reviewers

• The additional packages list is now sorted alphabetically (this can be reverted as necessary).
• When a user clicks "NetworkX + nx-cugraph", this only impacts the conda install option. This adds networkx nx-cugraph to the install command.

We have historically been very cautious about adding buttons to this list. We have far more packages in RAPIDS than we have room to list (we don't show RMM, KvikIO, ...). I would propose editing the cuGraph button to say cuGraph / nx-cugraph if that is a sufficient solution. You can see how we handle that logic for cuSpatial/cuProj here:

docs/_includes/selector.html

Lines 490 to 494 in c09f11a

	if (pkgs.includes("cuSpatial/cuProj")) {
	pkgs = pkgs.filter(pkg => pkg !== "cuSpatial/cuProj");
	pkgs.push("cuSpatial");
	pkgs.push("cuProj");
	}

Thanks @bdice I'll make those changes and push and update shortly

I would propose editing the cuGraph button to say cuGraph / nx-cugraph if that is a sufficient solution.

We discussed that, but decided that might not be desired since installing cugraph with nx-cugraph brings along a lot of extra dependencies that nx-cugraph does not use and users may not want (dask, cudf, etc.).

nx-cugraph is not in the RAPIDS meta-package at the moment either, so we're planning on adding it there too. That will help and seems correct for a RAPIDS install, but it's not as noticeable as a dedicated button and doesn't help users that just want Accelerated NetworkX.

@bdice if nx-cugraph isn't button-worthy, is there an alternative we can discuss?

cc @beckernick for any additional suggestions.

We could revisit the entire UX of the package selector. Maybe there’s a multi-row interface or something that uses a list with checkboxes that would still be visually appealing and provide more flexibility.

[bdice]

Also, I don’t want to be a deciding voice here against adding a button. I just raise that concern because we have hesitated on similar changes in the past.

[rlratzel]

Discussed offline with @bdice @beckernick @nv-rliu @aravenel @quasiben and decided that the best option would be to add a button to "Additional Packages" named "NetworkX + nx-cugraph" (or just "NetworkX" with a pop-up note indicating nx-cugraph is installed too?) which installs NetworkX and nx-cugraph.

Nice!

Let’s merge this. But it is missing a key feature: people who select “pip” and choose specific packages do not have an option to pick nx-cugraph.

@bdice Do you think that I could add an "Additional Packages" bar for pip installation?

PS. Is there a reason why this isn't included for pip when it was added to conda?

[bdice]

We've just never implemented a pip "additional packages". I think we could open discussion for that with the team internally and decide how to proceed. In the short term we probably only need a solution for adding nx-cugraph.
