Apex Studio Server

This repository serves as a distribution hub for pre-bundled versions of the Apex Studio Python backend. The canonical version of these bundles is hosted on Hugging Face.

It contains compressed bundles (.tar.zst) optimized for different platforms, architectures, and hardware acceleration backends.

📦 Bundles

Apex Studio is split into two main components:

• python-api: A fully functional environment containing all necessary dependencies and the API service layer.
• python-code: The core execution engine and model implementation logic (source code only, no dependencies included).

Files are organized by version (e.g., /0.1.0/).

Naming Convention

Each bundle follows this pattern: {component}-{version}-{os}-{arch}-{acceleration}-{python_version}.tar.zst

🚀 Usage

These bundles are compressed using Zstandard (.zst) for maximum efficiency.

Extraction (Linux & macOS)

To extract a bundle, use tar with Zstandard support:

# Example for macOS (Apple Silicon)
tar --zstd -xf python-api-0.1.0-darwin-arm64-mps-cp312.tar.zst

Alternatively, if your tar version does not support --zstd directly:

zstd -d python-api-0.1.0-darwin-arm64-mps-cp312.tar.zst -o python-api.tar
tar -xf python-api.tar

Extraction (Windows)

On Windows, you can use the following methods:

1. Using 7-Zip (Recommended)

If you have 7-Zip (with the Zstandard plugin) or 7-Zip-zstd installed, you can right-click the file and extract it directly.

2. Using Command Line (PowerShell/CMD)

If you have zstd and tar in your PATH (often available via Git Bash or Chocolatey):

# Decompress the zstd file first
zstd -d python-api-0.1.0-win32-x86_64-cuda-cp312.tar.zst

# Then extract the resulting tar
tar -xf python-api-0.1.0-win32-x86_64-cuda-cp312.tar

3. Using WSL

If you have Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installed:

tar --zstd -xf python-api-0.1.0-win32-x86_64-cuda-cp312.tar.zst

🛠️ Integration

These bundles are typically fetched and managed automatically by the Apex Studio desktop application, but they can be manually deployed for headless or custom server environments.
