Installation & authentication

0. Prerequisite: Install pip

pip is a package manager for Python. On macOS, you can set it up to use the default python3 install via -

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py

If the installation completes with a warning re: pip not being in your path, you'll need to add it by modifying your shell config (.zshrc, .bashrc or similar). You might have to modify the command below depending on the version of python3 on your machine.

export PATH=/Users/<your-macOS-username>/Library/Python/3.8/bin:$PATH

1. Install using Python's Pip manager.

pip install labelbox

2. Pass your API key as an environment variable. Then, import and initialize the API Client.

user@machine:~$ export LABELBOX_API_KEY="<your api key here>"
user@machine:~$ python3

from labelbox import Client
client = Client()

make test-staging

3. To test on prod:

make test-prod

4. If you make any changes and need to rebuild the image used for testing, force a rebuild with the -B flag

make -B {build|test-staging|test_prod}
