Please make sure to include "CUDA is Required" in the readme.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I put a few hours into installation without knowing CUDA was required, my system doesn't have a GPU, just a 12th gen i7 so I thought I could handle it, after a few hours of struggle, I got this message and it genuinely upset me: CUDA error 100 at /home/runner/work/ctransformers/ctransformers/models/ggml/ggml-cuda.cu:5067: no CUDA-capable device is detected

Describe the solution you'd like
Please specify CUDA being required in the readme with big letters.

I understand your situation. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the installation process. If you don't have a GPU, you can use the CPU version of the transformers. However, I use MacOS, so I cannot test whether it works on other devices besides MPS!

CUDA error 100 at /home/runner/work/ctransformers/ctransformers/models/ggml/ggml-cuda.cu:5067: no CUDA-capable device is detected

By the way, on which step did you get this message?

CUDA error 100 at /home/runner/work/ctransformers/ctransformers/models/ggml/ggml-cuda.cu:5067: no CUDA-capable device is detected

By the way, on which step did you get this message?

After installing everything and running the python index.py so technically the first step in the index.sh

I haven't found any way of using transformers without CUDA, can you elaborate further?

@ymsboob

in your config.json, change device to CPU and set gpu layers to 0

Wait a minute, we’re already working on the solution. If you don’t mind, can you please DM me on Discord (search for yukiarimo#4577)?

I made a pull request that will use CPU by default
