Installing from Sources

This page describes installations from ai-flow source code.

Prerequisites

Please make sure you have below tools installed on your workflow station.

• Git

• Python: 3.7, 3.8

• Pip: 19.0.0+

• SQLite: 3.15.0+

Preparing Environment [Optional]

To avoid dependencies conflict, we strongly recommend using venv or other similar tools for an isolated Python environment like below:

python3 -m venv venv_for_aiflow
source venv_for_aiflow/bin/activate

Installing wheel

AIFlow would add some entrypoints to PATH during installation, which requires package wheel installed.

python3 -m pip install wheel

Downloading Source Code

git clone https://github.com/flink-extended/ai-flow.git

Installing AIFlow

Now you can install AIFlow by running:

# cd into the source code directory you just cloned
cd ai-flow

# install notification service
python3 -m pip install lib/notification_service

# install ai-flow
python3 -m pip install .
