Installation

To install Daft, run this from your terminal:

pip install -U daft

Extra Dependencies

Some Daft functionality may also require other dependencies, which are specified as "extras":

To install Daft with the extra dependencies required for interacting with AWS services, such as AWS S3, run:

pip install -U daft[aws]

To install Daft with the extra dependencies required for running distributed Daft on top of a Ray cluster, run:

pip install -U daft[ray]

To install Daft with all extras, run:

pip install -U daft[all]

Legacy CPUs

If you see the text Illegal instruction when trying to run Daft, it may be because your CPU lacks support for certain instruction sets such as AVX. For those CPUs, use the daft-lts package instead:

pip install -U daft-lts

Note

Because daft-lts is compiled to use a limited CPU instruction set, the package is unable to take advantage of more performant vectorized operations. Only install this package if your CPU does not support running the daft package.

Advanced Installation

Installing Nightlies

If you wish to use Daft at the bleeding edge of development, you may also install the nightly build of Daft which is built every night against the main branch:

pip install -U daft --pre --extra-index-url https://d1p3klp2t5517h.cloudfront.net/builds/nightly

Installing Daft from source

pip install -U https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Please note that Daft requires the Rust toolchain in order to build from source.
