Installation

EDSL is an open-source Python library. The goal of EDSL is to make AI-powered research easy for beginners, advanced users, and everyone in between!

In this page we show how to set up EDSL on your system.

Quickstart Installation

EDSL is a Python library. To use it, ensure that you have Python installed in your system and a basic working knowledge of how to write python code.

Open your terminal and verify that you have not previously installed EDSL on your system:

pip show edsl

To install the latest version of EDSL through pip:

pip install edsl

To update your EDSL version to the latest one:

pip install --upgrade edsl

Advanced Installation

Following the steps in Quickstart Installation will install EDSL globally on your system. Sometimes, you may face problems with conflicts between EDSL and other libraries. To avoid such problems, we recommend that you use a virtual environment.

Open your terminal and run the following command:

python3 -m venv myenv

This will create a folder called myenv. Next, activate your virtual environment:

source myenv/bin/activate

You can now install EDSL through pip within your virtual environment:

pip install edsl

You will have access to EDSL while your virtual environment is activated.

You can deactivate the virtual environment at any time by running:

deactivate

To delete the virtual environment, simply delete the myenv folder.
