[BUG]Cannot manually install cuVS

[Lion815]

cuvs/build.sh failed
Hi! I am trying to do some adjustment on your source code of cagra and check if it could work. However, I failed to manually install your cuvs package (without any modification).
Could you kindly tell me if there is a better way for me to complete it, or help with the maunually installation problem.

The VERSION file needed here is a symlink. The path cuvs-branch-24.12/python/cuvs/cuvs/VERSION should be a symlink that points to cuvs-branch-24.12/VERSION. You can see it on GitHub here: https://github.com/rapidsai/cuvs/blob/branch-24.12/python/cuvs/cuvs/VERSION

Note that to get this symlink, you must use git to clone the repository. The symlink is not present in the .zip archive of this repository, because .zip files do not support symlinks. I am guessing that you might have downloaded the .zip file of this repository, based on the name of your directory (cuvs-branch-24.12).

You can try git clone https://github.com/rapidsai/cuvs.git to clone from GitHub.

Thanks! I will try.
