In December of 2025, the Knowledge Base content on this page will be removed and replaced with a link to the new documentation platform. Until that time, this Knowledge Base article will no longer be updated, and the latest information can be found on the new documentation platform page . If you have any questions, please reach out to quest-help@northwestern.edu for assistance.

All instructions will utilize the software management utility mamba. Please see Using Python on QUEST for more information on Mamba virtual environments.

These install instructions should work for rapidsai v24.10. It may work for newer releases of rapidsai but that will depend on the version of CUDA that was used to compile the conda package. If the version is older than CUDA 12.0 and newer than CUDA 12.4, it will not work with the Quest GPUs.

Installation

Please run the command that come after the $.


module purge
module load mamba/24.3.0
mamba create -n rapids-24.10 -c rapidsai -c conda-forge -c nvidia  rapids=24.10 python=3.12 'cuda-version>=12.0,<=12.4'

Note: Please see getting started with rapids for more details.
