Description
The readme states some requirements about python, cmake and clang version.
Currently the install/build process does not check if the clang version requirement is satisfied and ubuntu e.g. come with a clang version 14.
This can also cause problems, e.g see bug report https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet/issues/30
It would be cool if the install/build process checks the requirements and stops the build process with an error it the version is not satisfied.

Research direction
Start with the README requirements and trace the install/build process that handles Python, CMake, and Clang prerequisites. Review the related bug report in issue #30 for the failure context. Done means an unsupported Clang version is detected and the build stops with a clear error.
