7.6.0 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no python

pip install numkong

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numkong' ↓

cause numkong not installed or installed in wrong environment.

fix

Run pip install numkong in your active environment.

error ImportError: cannot import name 'tensor' from 'numkong' ↓

cause Typo or outdated version; the correct symbol is `numkong.tensor` (lowercase).

fix

Use from numkong import tensor.

Warnings

deprecated In v7.3.0, Arm NEON kernels were hardened; old code using `_x` predicated intrinsics may produce wrong results for non-power-of-two dimensions. Ensure you use v7.3.0+ for Arm SVE/SME. ↓

fix Upgrade to v7.3.0 or later.

gotcha Importing `numkong` does not automatically import `numpy`; if you need both, import them separately. ↓

fix Use `import numkong as nk; import numpy as np`.

gotcha The library uses C extensions; on some platforms (e.g., Alpine Linux), you may need to install gcc and Python headers to compile from source if no wheel is available. ↓

fix Install build dependencies: `apk add gcc musl-dev python3-dev`.
