Installation

Python Version

We recommend using the latest version of Python 3. Snips NLU supports Python 3.4 and newer as well as Python 2.7.

Install Snips NLU

It is recommended to use a virtual environment and activate it before installing Snips NLU in order to manage your project dependencies properly.

Snips NLU can be installed via pip with the following command:

pip install snips-nlu

We currently have pre-built binaries (wheels) for snips-nlu and its dependencies for MacOS and Linux x86_64. If you use a different architecture/os you will need to build these dependencies from sources which means you will need to install setuptools_rust and Rust before running the pip install snips-nlu command.

Extra dependencies

Metrics

If at some point you want to compute metrics, you will need some extra dependencies that can be installed via:

pip install 'snips-nlu[metrics]'

Tests

pip install 'snips-nlu[test]'

Documentation

pip install 'snips-nlu[doc]'
