Nov 27, 2020 | Data Science

Bayeslite is a powerful tool for BQL interpretation and storage within the BayesDB framework. In this article, we will guide you through the installation process and share some insights on using Bayeslite effectively.

Installing Bayeslite

The easiest way to install Bayeslite is through the Anaconda Cloud. Here’s how to do it:

Understanding the Expectations

As users and contributors, it’s important to set the right expectations:

  • The code and behavior are subject to rapid and dramatic changes at this time.
  • Do not expect the software to treat your data securely; it is still in development.

Contributing to Bayeslite

If you’re looking to contribute to Bayeslite, here are some essential guidelines:

  • Aim for compatibility with probcomp machines and member laptops.
  • Provide scripts and instructions that facilitate recreating environments.
  • Before sending a pull request, ensure to run local tests using:
  • $ ./check.sh
  • This command runs the smoke tests. For the complete test suite, use:
  • $ ./check.sh tests shelltests

Building Documentation

To build the documentation for Bayeslite, which is also available online, follow these steps:

  • Install Sphinx if you haven’t done so already.
  • Run the command to build:
  • $ make doc
  • The output will be placed in the build/doc directory, with a subdirectory for each output format.
  • If you prefer to only build one output format (e.g., HTML), use:
  • $ make html

Troubleshooting

In case you face any issues during installation or usage, here are a few troubleshooting ideas:

  • Ensure that your Python and Anaconda installations are updated to the latest versions.
  • Check if all required packages are installed, especially Sphinx for building documentation.
  • If you encounter errors, revisit the steps mentioned above to ensure everything has been followed correctly.
