AIchor CLI user guide

AIchor CLI is a command-line interface for interacting with the AIchor service. This CLI allows users to log in, retrieve information about projects and experiments, set default projects, resubmit experiments, and trigger experiments from a local package.

Installation

Prerequisite:

Ensure you have Python3 installed on your system. You can download it from python.org.

  • Install virtualenv:
pip install virtualenv
  • Test your installation:
virtualenv --version

Create and activate a virtual environment:

On Windows:

python -m venv <virtual_environment>
<virtual_environment>\Scripts\activate

On Linux/MacOS:

python3 -m venv <virtual_environment>
source <virtual_environment>/bin/activate

Install

  • Download this file:

aichor_cli-0.3.0-py3-none-any.whl

  • Install AIchor CLI: 
pip install aichor_cli-<version>-py3-none-any.whl

If you're on Linux, you can also install AIchor CLI from a binary accessible here:

linux_aichor_0.3.0_aichor

  • Install and execute the binary:
chmod +x path/to/aichor-cli-binary
./path/to/aichor-cli-binary

Usage

To use AIchor CLI, run the following command:

aichor

An output similar to the following should be displayed:

Usage: aichor [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  AIchor CLI for managing experiments.

Options:

Available Commands

Now you can perform actions on projects and experiments:

  • Login to AIchor with:
aichor login
  • If you are unable to login, you can manually configure your access token with:
aichor configure
  • Set a default project with:
aichor set project --project-id <project_id>

Note: It is necessary to set a default project to proceed with your actions. Alternatively, you can specify the project ID each time you execute a command.

  • Retrieve projects with:
aichor get projects [options]
  • Retrieve experiments with:
aichor get experiments [options]
  • Resubmit experiments with:
aichor resubmit experiments [options]

Replace [options] with appropriate options such as --project-id <project_id> or --experiment-id <experiment_id> as needed

  • Submit an experiment from a local package with:
aichor submit experiment --project-name <project_name> --repo-dir <repo_path> --message <commit_message>
