Open up a terminal and run the command module load mamba

• This is a package manager similar to conda used by the cluster
• We only need this for setting up the enviroment
• run mamba create -n my_vima python=3.9.18
• the github repo says vima uses python3.9 so we will use the latest security update for it
• This is probably why the below has so many issues

Clone this repo by doing the following clone

• note the bellow will pull the main project repo and the VIMA and VimaBench Repositories

    git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:ramon349/CSE574_Final_project.git

Run the "run_install.sh" script.

Setup vima as an editable package

• i.e run

    cd ./VIMA
    pip install -e .

Setup VIMABench as an editable package

    cd VimaBench
    pip install -e .
