Using a wildcard glob like transformer_engine-*.whl with pip install can cause the build to fail if the /tmp/wheels directory contains multiple wheels (for example, wheels built for different Python versions or architectures). In such cases, pip will attempt to install all matching wheels, and will fail with an error when encountering an incompatible wheel.

To make this more robust, use --find-links to let pip automatically select and install only the wheel that is compatible with the current Python environment.

      pip install --find-links=/tmp/wheels transformer_engine; \

else \
rm -rf /root/TransformerEngine && \
git clone --recursive --branch ${TRANSFORMER_ENGINE_BRANCH} ${TRANSFORMER_ENGINE_REPO} /root/TransformerEngine && \
cd /root/TransformerEngine && NVTE_FUSED_ATTN=0 pip install . --no-build-isolation -v; \
