Jina is an open-source neural search framework that helps in building search and recommendation systems. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Jina on Linux Mint Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation of Jina, make sure that you have the following requirements:
You can check the version of Python installed on your system using the following command:
$ python3 --version
Virtualenv is a tool that enables the creation of isolated Python environments. It is used to create separate Python environments for different projects.
To install Virtualenv, use the following command:
$ pip3 install virtualenv
To create a virtual environment for Jina, use the following command:
$ virtualenv jina-env
This will create a new directory named jina-env in the current directory, which contains the files required for the virtual environment.
To activate the virtual environment, use the following command:
$ source jina-env/bin/activate
Now that we have created a virtual environment and activated it, we can proceed to install Jina. To install Jina, use the following command:
$ pip install jina
This will install the latest version of Jina along with its dependencies.
To test Jina, we can run its examples provided in its Github Repository. You can download the Jina repository by using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/jina-ai/jina.git
Then, navigate to the downloaded repository:
$ cd jina/examples/helloworld
Finally, run the following command:
$ python app.py
This should start a Jina search service running on http://0.0.0.0:45678/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Jina on Linux Mint Latest.
You can deactivate the virtual environment by using the following command:
$ deactivate
This will remove the currently active virtual environment and return you to the normal shell.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
