MindsDB is a free, open-source AI-powered prediction system that allows anyone to gain valuable insights from their data. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing MindsDB on Linux Mint.
In order to install MindsDB, first, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
Next, we need to clone the MindsDB repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following commands to clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb.git
cd mindsdb
It is highly recommended to create a virtual environment for MindsDB installation to avoid any conflict with other Python packages. Run the following command to create a virtual environment.
virtualenv -p python3.7 venv
This will create a new virtual environment named venv.
Activate the newly created virtual environment by running the following command.
source venv/bin/activate
You should now see the name of the virtual environment in your terminal prompt.
With the virtual environment activated, we can now proceed to install MindsDB. Run the following command to install MindsDB and its dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the required packages, including MindsDB.
Finally, you can test the installation by running the following command.
mindsdb
If the installation was successful, you should see the MindsDB CLI launched in your terminal.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed MindsDB on your Linux Mint machine. You can continue to explore MindsDB and use it to gain valuable insights from your data.
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!
