Installation#

Setup#

Lumen works with Python 3 on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

The recommended way to install Lumen is using the conda command that is included in the installation of Anaconda or Miniconda. To help you choose between Anaconda and Miniconda, review this page. Completing the installation for either Anaconda or Miniconda will also install Python.

If you are not installing Anaconda or Miniconda, you can download Python directly from Python.org. In this case, you can install Lumen using pip, which comes with Python.

Installing Lumen#

  1. Open up a terminal (Powershell if you are on Windows).

  2. Run the following command, which will install Lumen with all its dependencies.

  3. When the command finishes, run lumen --version in the terminal and check that the version is 0.8.0.

    • If this is not the case, you are not running the latest version, which may cause problems.

conda install -c pyviz -c conda-forge lumen -y

pip install lumen

To use Lumen AI, you need to install additional dependencies in addition to the core dependencies. You can do this by running:

pip install 'lumen[ai]'

If you want to use a specific LLM provider, you can specify the provider name as a hyphenated suffix:

pip install 'lumen[ai-openai]'
pip install 'lumen[ai-mistralai]'
pip install 'lumen[ai-anthropic]'

For models that run locally on your machine and offline (after downloading and caching):

pip install 'lumen[ai-llama-cpp]'
