Install the QMENTA SDK

For maximum control over dependencies, we recommend creating a dedicated Python environment. Follow these steps to set up the QMENTA SDK on a Debian-based system:

1. System Requirements:

   • Debian-based Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)

   • Python 3.10 or higher

   • pip (Python package installer)

   Install basic requirements on Debian/Ubuntu:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-venv python3-tk
   

2. Create a Python Virtual Environment (Recommended):

   Creating an isolated environment helps manage dependencies and avoids conflicts with system packages.

   # Create a new virtual environment
   python3 -m venv ~/qmenta_env
   
   # Activate the environment
   source ~/qmenta_env/bin/activate
   
   # Your prompt should now show (qmenta_env)
   

3. Install the QMENTA SDK Python Library: QMENTA SDK python library

   # Make sure your environment is activated
   pip install --upgrade pip
   pip install qmenta-sdk-lib
   

4. Verify Installation:

   python -c "import qmenta.sdk; print('QMENTA SDK installed successfully')"
   

5. Install Docker: (if not already installed):

   Follow the official Docker installation guide for your system: Docker Install Guide
