3) Running in docker (Optional)#

If you prefer a fully containerized environment, BRIDGE can also run in Docker.

Step 1: Install Docker#

Download and install the latest Docker version for your platform: Docker Installers.

To enable GPU access inside Docker, install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit.

Step 2: Build and run the Docker image#

GPU users#

Build the image:

docker build -f Dockerfile.gpu -t bridge:gpu .

Launch a container with GPU support:

docker run --rm -it --gpus all bridge:gpu
CPU users#

Build the image:

docker build -f Dockerfile.cpu -t bridge:cpu .

Launch a container with CPU support:

docker run --rm -it bridge:cpu

Sanity-Check for Environment Setup#

To verify that the environment has been set up correctly and avoid dependency conflicts, especially with PyTorch and PyTorch Geometric, you can check the installed versions directly in the command line. Run the following commands to ensure that the necessary libraries are correctly installed and compatible.

Run these commands:

# Check PyTorch version and CUDA availability
python -c "import torch; print('torch:', torch.__version__, 'cuda:', torch.version.cuda, 'cuda_available:', torch.cuda.is_available())"

# Check PyTorch Geometric version
python -c "import torch_geometric; print('torch-geometric:', torch_geometric.__version__)"

This will display the installed versions of PyTorch and PyTorch Geometric, as well as the CUDA version and availability. An example output might look like this:

torch: 2.0.1+cu117 cuda: 11.7 cuda_available: True
torch-geometric: 2.6.1

If the versions match the recommended ones in the prerequisites section, the PyTorch and PyTorch Geometric are correctly set up.
