Always use uv pip install (not plain pip install) to install packages in the environment — this avoids resolver conflicts and is significantly faster. 2. git clone the mlx-repo from GitHub. ALWAYS USE the repo and branch specified in the MLX-LM repo section above. 3. Install mlx-lm in editable mode in the environment 4. Install transformers locally too, to ensure we have the latest version of the code: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers. You can clone with --depth 1 because it has many refs. Also install accelerate for devicemap support. 5. Make sure huggingfacehub is installed too, to use the hf CLI for model download. It comes with the previous libraries as a depend
