Fusion Data Platform Installation

The Fusion Data Platform uses pixi to manage its various package dependencies. The simplest way to get set up is to first install the fdp-installer conda package and the run the fdp-install script.

Note that for the instructions below you can substitute mamba or micromamba for conda, depending on your local setup.

Here's the procedure:

conda create -c ga-fdp -c conda-forge -n fdp-installer fdp-installer

Note that the -n argument is arbitrary. You can name the installer environment whatever you want.

conda activate fdp-installer # or whatever you names the install environment

Install in current directory

fdp-install

Install in a specific directory

fdp-install --directory /path/to/project
# or
fdp-install -d /path/to/project

The installer will: 1. Create the specified directory if it doesn't exist 2. Copy the pixi.toml configuration file 3. Install all conda and pip dependencies using pixi 4. Set up the FDP environment

To activate the environment after installation:

cd /path/to/project
pixi shell
