Installation

Prerequisites

Engine specific

To ensure safe and efficient execution of translated code for evaluation, the InterTrans Engine relies on Singularity containers. Additionally, Go is required for installing the InterTrans Engine.

Before proceeding, please make sure the necessary prerequisites are installed. Use the following guides to complete the installation:

• 🔗 Guide to Installing Go
• 🔗 Guide to Installing Singularity

Inference backend

You can use the OpenAI API or any other inference tool that is compatible with OpenAI API specification. We officially support vLLM, and we recommend it to be used as the inference backend. Other alternatives that we have not tested but should be compatible include HuggingFace Text Generation Interface and LiteLLM.

Installation

Note

We are working on packaging InterTrans as a standalone executable. In the meantime, please run it directly from the repository as indicated below.

1. Clone a version from the repository. Use “Latest” for the latest version and “Replication” for paper replication purposes.

   Latest

       git clone https://github.com/RISElabQueens/intertrans
       cd InterTrans
       git checkout main

   Replication

   Note

   This version should only be used when replicating the paper’s results as it may not contain newer features and enhancements. You can download the data from the paper’s experiments clicking here to run the Notebooks without re-running the experiments.

       git clone https://github.com/RISElabQueens/intertrans
       cd InterTrans
       git checkout paper

2. Install the Python client

   cd client
   pip install -e .
