Setting up your Python environment

Install Python, pip, and git to start using ailia SDK from Python. Choose your OS below.

Introduction

To use ailia SDK from Python, you need three things: Python (the runtime that runs programs), pip (the tool that installs libraries), and git (the tool that fetches the samples). The setup steps differ slightly per OS, so pick the guide that matches your environment below.

Windows

Covers Python, pip, and git, plus the Visual C++ Redistributable required for ailia SDK to run.

Mac

macOS ships with Python, so you mainly start from setting up git.

Linux

Using Ubuntu / Debian as an example, install what is missing with the package manager (apt).

After setup

Once your environment is ready, you can install ailia SDK with pip3 install ailia. For how to use it, see the ailia SDK getting started page. For faster execution on a GPU, also see the CUDA Toolkit / cuDNN installation guide or the Vulkan setup guide.
