Acumos Python Client User Guide

acumos is a client library that allows modelers to push their Python models to the Acumos platform.

Installation

You will need a Python 3.6 or 3.7 environment in order to install acumos. Python 3.8 and later can also be used starting with version 0.9.5, some AI framework like Tensor Flow was not supported in Python 3.8 and later. You can use Anaconda (preferred) or pyenv to install and manage Python environments.

If you’re new to Python and need an IDE to start developing, we recommend using Spyder which can easily be installed with Anaconda.

The acumos package can be installed with pip:

pip install acumos

Protocol Buffers

The acumos package uses protocol buffers and assumes you have the protobuf compiler protoc installed. Please visit the protobuf repository and install the appropriate protoc for your operating system. Installation is as easy as downloading a binary release and adding it to your system $PATH. This is a temporary requirement that will be removed in a future version of acumos.

Anaconda Users: You can easily install protoc from an Anaconda package via:

conda install -c anaconda libprotobuf
