cuOpt Installation — Developer

Set up an environment to build cuOpt from source and run tests. For contribution behavior and PRs, see the developer skill after the build works.

When to use this skill

• User wants to build cuOpt (clone, build deps, build, tests).
• Not for using cuOpt (pip/conda) — use the user installation skill instead.

Required questions (environment)

Ask these if not already clear:

1. OS and GPU — Linux? Which CUDA version (e.g. 12.x)?
2. Goal — Contributing upstream, or local fork/modification?
3. Component — C++/CUDA core, Python bindings, server, docs, or CI?

Validate CUDA/driver compatibility before building
