Install instructions for cuQuantum Python missing package name and install fails

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
1

I am trying to install cuQuantum Python from source. The instructions are:

  1. Set CUDA_PATH to point to your CUDA installation
  2. Set CUQUANTUM_ROOT to point to your cuQuantum installation
  3. Set CUTENSOR_ROOT to point to your cuTENSOR installation
  4. Make sure CUDA, cuQuantum and cuTENSOR are visible in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  5. Run pip install -v .

Step 5 fails because the name of the package to install is not specified:

pip install -v .
ERROR: Directory ‘.’ is not installable. Neither ‘setup.py’ nor ‘pyproject.toml’ found.

If I use the setup.py that is provided in the cuQuantum/python on Github, the install fails. The log is shown below.

If using the setup.py from github is correct, why is the install failing?

> pip install -v /home/local_user/NVIDIA_CUQUANTUM_Samples/cuQuantum/python
