Install PyNeat

The standard Neat Library installer provisions a default PyNeat virtual environment at ~/pyneat on the DevKit. Use this page only when you need a custom Python environment.

The Neat Library install artifacts include a PyNeat wheel. If you need a custom venv, conda environment, or other Python 3.11 setup, download the wheel and install it into that environment.

Use this flow when the matching Neat Library runtime packages are already installed. The PyNeat-only target downloads the wheel, but it does not install or update the runtime .deb packages.

Download the Wheel

sdk-or-devkit$sima-cli neat install core -t pyneat

To download the wheel for a specific Neat Library release, include the version.

For Neat Library 0.1.0:

sdk-or-devkit$sima-cli neat install core@v0.1.0 -t pyneat

For Neat Library 0.2.0:

sdk-or-devkit$sima-cli neat install core@0.2.0 -t pyneat

Create a Python Environment

Create and activate your target Python 3.11 environment:

sdk-or-devkit$python3.11 -m venv ~/my-neat-envsdk-or-devkit$source ~/my-neat-env/bin/activate

Install the Wheel

sdk-or-devkit$pip install ./pyneat-*.whl

The published wheel targets CPython 3.11 on linux_aarch64, so install it into a matching environment. For supported Neat Library, SDK, and DevKit software combinations, see the Compatibility Guide.

Next Step

Continue to Neat CLI to inspect the installed environment.
