Installation

The jovian python library can be installed using the pip package manager. To install jovian via terminal or command line, run:

pip install jovian --upgrade

You can also install the jovian library directly within a Jupyter Notebook, by running the following command in a code cell:

!pip install jovian --upgrade

Caution

If you get a Permission denied error, try installing with sudo permission (on Linux/Mac).

$ sudo pip install jovian --upgrade

Another alternative is to try installing with the --user flag, but you’ll need to ensure that the target directory is added to your system PATH.

$ pip install jovian --upgrade --user

Once the installation is complete, you can start uploading Jupyter notebooks to Jovian.

Configuration (for Jovian Pro users only)

If you are a Jovian Pro user, run the following commands on the terminal (or command line) to connect the jovian library with your company’s internal Jovian Pro site:

jovian configure

You can also do this directly within a Jupyter notebook, by executing the following inside a code cell:

import jovian
jovian.configure()

The above command prompts for the following information:

  1. Organization ID: The Organization ID provided by your company for authentication. E.g. if you are accessing Jovian Pro at https://mycompany.jovian.ai , your organization ID is mycompany.

  2. API key: You’ll get the API key when you’re logged in to your organization’s Jovian Pro site. By clicking on the API key button, the key will be copied to clipboard.

Note

You need to run jovian configure or jovian.configure() only once after installation. Your credentials are cached in the ~/.jovian directory on your computer. You can run jovian reset to clear this configuration.
