setup-repo-environment

name	setup_repo_environment
description	Aligns the local environment with the repository's requirements by checking for dependency files, installing build-essential tools for complex packages like DeepSpeed, and logging environment metadata.

1. Identify Dependencies: Check the /root/SimPO directory for environment.yml, requirements.txt, or pyproject.toml.
2. Align Python Version: If a specific version is required by environment.yml, attempt to use that version.
3. Install Build Tools: Ensure the system has tools required for compiling C++/CUDA extensions (common in NLP repos for deepspeed or flash-attn):
   • apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential libaio-dev
4. Install Packages:
   • If requirements.txt exists: pip install -r requirements.txt.
   • Ensure torch, numpy, and transformers are compatible with the versions mentioned in the repo.
5. Log Environment Info:
   • Run python -VV > /root/python_info.txt
   • Run python -m pip freeze >> /root/python_info.txt
   • This ensures the exact state used for the loss computation is recorded for reproducibility.
