Install and Download

Prerequisites​

Before installing and using AI-Link, please ensure that you satisfy the prerequisites.

Procedure​

If you're just getting started, please refer to the release notes to identify the latest version of AI-Link.

To install AI-Link, run the following command in your chosen Python environment:

pip install atscale

If necessary, you can upgrade to the latest version of AI-Link by running the following:

pip install atscale --upgrade

Note: If you're using AI-Link with any notebooks or IDEs, please ensure that they're using the same environment in which AI-Link was installed.

Alternatively, you can download the wheel file from PyPI.

Connect Your Data Warehouse​

You'll need to establish a connection between AtScale and an underlying data warehouse. You can find instructions for doing so here.

After installing AI-Link, you can install extra packages specific to your data warehouse that can assist with write operarations. AI-Link currently supports extras for the following platforms:

  • Databricks: pip install 'atscale[databricks]'
  • Google BigQuery: pip install 'atscale[gbq]']
  • Iris: pip install 'atscale[iris]'
  • Snowflake: pip install 'atscale[snowflake]'

Next Steps​

We recommend reading about how to connect to existing AtScale semantic models.
