about "Cloud-init"

[huangliang-666]

Dear author,

I encountered some issues while configuring the environment. When I tried to install the "Cloud-init" library, I realized that it is not a Python package. I then found the source code on GitHub and downloaded it. However, when I tried to install it, I discovered that it's a system-level software and requires administrator privileges, which I don't have.

I would like to ask, what is the primary purpose of this "Cloud-init" software? Will not installing "Cloud-init" affect the execution of the code?

Hi,

It's not necessary, lib. In fact, when I first worked on CLIPN, I didn't create a separate environment for it but rather a mix of many projects, which led to a lot of unrelated libraries being involved in it.
If you want to run CLIPN, just installing timm, open-clip, pytorch is enough.
