Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/kvcache-ai/Mooncake/issues/1726

Installation errors

current pip install mooncake-transfer-engine, is for classic backend, right?
for TENT backend, I need a single wheel, so I can use pip install xxx
By the way, I wonder know, in future, TENT will be the key development, classic will be just maintained?

Current TENT is not bundled in the PyPI release. But you can build the wheel file by yourself (cmake -DUSE_TENT=ON .., then run the wheel script)

Yes. Most new features will be for TENT only.
