📦 Installation

[!NOTE] We recommend using a virtual environment to avoid package conflicts.

From PyPI

pip install -U datamint

Virtual Environment Setup

Click to expand virtual environment setup instructions

We recommend that you install Datamint in a dedicated virtual environment, to avoid conflicting with your system packages. For instance, create the enviroment once with python3 -m venv datamint-env and then activate it whenever you need it with:

1. Create the environment (one-time setup):

   python3 -m venv datamint-env
   

2. Activate the environment (run whenever you need it):

   Platform	Command
   Linux/macOS	source datamint-env/bin/activate
   Windows CMD	datamint-env\Scripts\activate.bat
   Windows PowerShell	datamint-env\Scripts\Activate.ps1

3. Install the package:

   pip install datamint
   

⚙ Setup API key

To use the Datamint API, you need to setup your API key (ask your administrator if you don't have one). Use one of the following methods to setup your API key:

Method 1: Command-line tool (recommended)

Run datamint-config (or python -m datamint config if that doesn't work) in the terminal and follow the instructions. See command_line_tools for more details.

Method 2: Environment variable

Specify the API key as an environment variable.

Bash:

export DATAMINT_API_KEY="my_api_key"
# run your commands (e.g., `datamint-upload`, `python script.py`)

Python:

import os
os.environ["DATAMINT_API_KEY"] = "my_api_key"

Upload Resources

Upload DICOM files with anonymization:

datamint-upload /path/to/dicoms --recursive --channel "training-data" --publish --tag "my_data_tag"

It anonymizes by default.

Upload resources with segmentations and associate them with a deployed model:

datamint-upload /path/to/dicoms \
   --recursive \
   --segmentation_path /path/to/segmentations \
   --segmentation_names /path/to/segmentation_names.yaml \
   --ai-model "knee-segmentation-v2" \
   --publish

Use --ai-model when uploaded segmentation files should be linked to an existing deployed model by name. --segmentation_names accepts YAML mappings and ITK-SNAP label export CSV/TXT files.

Configuration Management

# Interactive setup
datamint-config

# Set API key
datamint-config --api-key "your-key"

🔒 SSL Certificate Troubleshooting

If you encounter SSL certificate verification errors like:

SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

Quick Fix

1. Upgrade certifi:

pip install --upgrade certifi

2. Set environment variables:

export SSL_CERT_FILE=$(python -m certifi)
export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=$(python -m certifi)

3. Run your script:

python your_script.py

Alternative Solutions

Option 1: Use Custom CA Bundle

from datamint import Api

api = Api(verify_ssl="/path/to/your/ca-bundle.crt")

Option 2: Disable SSL Verification (Development Only)

from datamint import Api

# ⚠️ WARNING: Only use in development with self-signed certificates
api = Api(verify_ssl=False)
