It can definitely run on CPU — but I'm not sure if it can run on a machine without a GPU entirely.
To be honest, it uses a decently large amount of resources. If you had a GPU, you could expect about 4-5 gb memory usage. And given the optimizations for tensors on GPUs, I'm not sure how well things would work "CPU only".
If you try it, let me know. There are some "CPU" Docker builds in the repo you could look at for guidance.
