The right way to install Pymilvus

Updated 10 months ago on July 18, 2023

Installing with pip

PyMilvus is found in the Python package index.

PyMilvus only supports python3 (>= 3.6), typically PyMilvus can be installed as follows.

$ python3 -m pip install pymilvus

Installation in a virtual environment

It is recommended to use PyMilvus in a virtual environment. Using a virtual environment avoids global installation of Python packages, which can break system tools or other projects. To demonstrate installing and using PyMilvus in a virtual environment, we use virtualenv. For more information on why and how, see the virtualenv article.

$ python3 -m pip install virtualenv $ virtualenv venv $ source venv/bin/activate (venv) $ pip install pymilvus

If you need to exit virtualenv venv, you can use the deactivate command.

Installing a specific version of PyMilvus

Here we are assuming that you are already in a virtual environment.

The appropriate version of PyMilvus depends on the version of Milvus you are using. See install pymilvus for the recommended version of pymilvus.

If you want to install a particular version of PyMilvus:

(venv) $ pip install pymilvus==1.1.0

If you want to upgrade PyMilvus to the latest published version:

(venv) $ pip install --upgrade pymilvus

Installation from source code

As a result, the latest version of PyMilvus will be installed in the virtual environment.

(venv) $ pip install git+https://github.com/milvus-io/pymilvus.git

Installation check

Your installation is correct if the following command does not raise an exception in the Python shell.

(venv) $ python -c "from milvus import Milvus, DataType"
