Install using MindsDB installers

Install MindsDB on your Linux machine using an easy-to-use shell script.

Download the script

MindsDB for Linux

This script will install MindsDB and MindsDB's dependencies, and start the MindsDB server.

Note that you need Python 3.6.x, 3.7.x or 3.8.x installed.

Install using pip

Python 3.9

Currently, some of our dependencies have issues with the latest versions of Python 3.9.x. For now, our suggestion is to use Python 3.6.x, 3.7.x, or 3.8.x versions.

We suggest you to install MindsDB in a virtual environment when using pip to avoid dependency issues. Make sure your Python version is >=3.6.

  1. Create and activate venv:

    python -m venv mindsdb

    source mindsdb/bin/activate

  2. Install MindsDB:

    pip install mindsdb

  3. To verify that mindsdb was installed run:

    pip freeze

Install using Anaconda

Python 3.9

Currently, some of our dependencies have issues with the latest versions of Python 3.9.x. For now, our suggestion is to use Python 3.6.x, 3.7.x, or 3.8.x versions.

You will need Anaconda or Conda installed and Python 64bit version. Then open Anaconda Prompt and:

  1. Create new virtual environment and install mindsdb:

    conda create -n mindsdb

    conda activate mindsdb

    pip install mindsdb

  2. To verify that mindsdb was installed run:

    conda list

Installation fail

Don't worry, simply follow the below bellow instruction which should fix most issues.

  1. Python 64 bit version is required.

  2. If you are using Python 3.9 you may get installation errors. Some of the MindsDB's dependencies are not working with Python 3.9, so please downgrade to older versions for now. We are working on this and Python 3.9 will be supported soon.

  3. If you are using Linux install tkinter from your package manager in certain situations.

    • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install python3-tk tk
    • Fedora: sudo dnf -y install python3-tkinter
    • Arch: sudo pacman -S tk

  4. If none of this works, try installing mindsdb using the docker container and create an issue with the installation errors you got on our Github repository and we'll try to review it within a few hours.
