Install PyNeat

DevKit only — skip for SDK installs

These steps set up PyNeat on a DevKit (or a bare host acting as a runtime). If you are working inside the Palette SDK, skip this page.

PyNeat is already installed with Neat Library

PyNeat is bundled with the Neat Library and is installed automatically when you install the Neat Library.

By default, it is installed in a virtual environment at ~/pyneat. You can skip this page unless you want to install PyNeat in a custom virtual environment, such as a separate venv or conda environment on the DevKit.

Run the steps below on the DevKit. This instruction does not install or update the runtime .deb packages, so run it where the matching Neat Library runtime is already installed.

Download the Wheel

Choose the wheel version that matches the Neat Library runtime already installed on the DevKit. For the current release:

devkit$sima-cli neat install core@v0.6.1 -t pyneat

For another installed runtime version, replace the version tag with its matching published Core tag. Downloading the wheel does not update the runtime packages.

Create a Python Environment

Create and activate a virtual environment with the environment's python3:

devkit$python3 -m venv ~/my-neat-envdevkit$source ~/my-neat-env/bin/activate

Install the Wheel

devkit$pip install ./pyneat-*.whl

For supported Neat Library, SDK, and DevKit software combinations, see the Compatibility Guide.

Next Step

Continue to Neat CLI to inspect the installed environment.
