submodules/ installation error

[HSIN-0309]

I've tried many different kinda approaches to pip install submodules/simple-knn, pip install submodules/diff-gaussian-rasterization, and pip install submodules/fused-ssim.
However it doesn't work.
So I try the way from another model:
https://github.com/NVlabs/InstantSplat
However, I still met errors....

HELP!

cuda 11.8,pytorch 2.1.1+cu118

>>> cuda_available = torch.cuda.is_available()
>>> print(cuda_available)
True

>>> import torch
>>> print(torch.__version__)
2.1.1+cu118

I have solved the problem
the key is vs2022 is not fit with cuda11.x

Hi everyone, I tackled two common errors that I faced with the colab version that was shared in the readme of this repo:

1. Colab Error: "Found no NVIDIA driver" in Colab template (README, August 2023). Colab’s default Python 3.11, CUDA 12.4, and PyTorch 2.x didn’t align. Fixed with:

   • Python 3.7 (close to 3.7.13),
   • CUDA 11.8 toolkit (README prefers it over 11.6),
   • PyTorch 1.12.1+cu116,
   • PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH tweaks.
     Runs smoothly on Tesla T4—check my notebook: https://github.com/yassgan/3DGaussianSplatting-INRIA-Method-Colab.

2. Submodule Error: "subprocess-exited-with-error: python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully" when building submodules like simple-knn. Match your CUDA toolkit and PyTorch versions (e.g., CUDA 12.0 with +cu120).

Hope this saves someone time—let me know how it works for you!
