Update README.md

The example programs fail without these installation steps.

Hello, I appreciate the PR!

Would you mind sharing what the error was you're encountering? Installing autoawq[kernels] is supposed to install autoawq-kernels.

The installation returns the following.

I figured that was the case. I submitted this issue previously: casper-hansen/AutoAWQ#678

And put in this PR to the upstream project to try to fix the underlying issue. Dao-AILab/flash-attention#1380

But as of now it's not fixed. Perhaps this is a good solution. Were you sure it used the GPU without installing flash-attn?

There were a couple other updates regarding the install. I updated the README to include this. Thank you for submitting this issue.
