Setup for Linux via pip
Before You Start
There are some points that you should consider before jumping into the installation. Please have a look at them below.
Pip and Python Versions
Due to some of our dependencies having issues with the latest versions of Python 3.9.x, we suggest using Python 3.7.x or 3.8.x versions for now. We are working on Python 3.9.x to be supported soon.
To successfully install MindsDB, use Python 64-bit version. Also, make sure
that Python >= 3.7 and pip >= 19.3. You can check the pip and python
versions by running the pip --version
and
python --version
commands.
Please note that depending on your environment and installed pip and python
packages, you might have to use pip3 instead of pip or python3.x
instead of py. For example, pip3 install mindsdb
instead of
pip install mindsdb
.
How to Avoid Dependency Issues
Install MindsDB in a virtual environment using pip to avoid dependency issues.
Or you could try to install MindsDB with Anaconda and run the installation from the Anaconda prompt.
How to Avoid Common Errors
MindsDB requires around 3 GB of free disk space to install all of its
dependencies. Make sure to allocate min. 3 GB of disk space to avoid the
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device while installing MindsDB
error.
Before anything, activate your virtual environment where your MindsDB is
installed. It is to avoid the No module named mindsdb
error.
Using the Python venv
Module
-
Create a new virtual environment called
mindsdb
:python -m venv mindsdb
Now, activate it:
source mindsdb/bin/activate
-
Once inside the virtual environment, run the command below to mitigate the dependency issues:
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
-
Install MindsDB:
pip install mindsdb
-
Verify MindsDB installation:
pip freeze
