is there any way to install cupy without Cuda

pip install cupy won't install cupy without cuda.

Linux: lubuntu v21.10 pip v3.10 conda v22.11.1

I have linux installed on an older laptop and it doesn't have any dedicated GPU. I have a python framework I'm trying to test out and it requires cupy to run. I tried pip install cupy but it wouldn't run without any cuda installation.

I tried conda install cupy but the framework won't run when conda install cuda

https://pypi.org/project/cupy/ is "NumPy & SciPy for GPU" (emphasize mine — phd). You cannot install it without CUDA.

If you want to use pyVHR without GPU you need to switch to the branch pyVHR_CPU. There is pyVHR_CPU_env.yml to create CPU-ony conda environment. See the installation instructions.

Another approach would be to install an emulator (qemu, VirtualBox, etc.) and configure it to emulate a GPU. Not sure if it worth the trouble in terms of speed.
