Install DeepEval
Setup A Python Environment (recommended)
Go to the root directory of your project and create a virtual environment (if you don’t already have one). In the CLI, run:
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activateRun pip install deepeval
In your newly created virtual environment, run:
pip install -U deepevalLogin (Again) With Your API Key
By now, you should have your Confident AI API key from following the instructions on the previous page. You’ll need to log in with that API key in DeepEval to ensure all evaluations, datasets, and prompts stay in sync with your project on Confident AI.
To log in with your API key, run the following command in the CLI:
deepeval login --confident-api-key YOUR_API_KEYReplace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you copied from the Confident AI dashboard.
You can also login by using the login_with_confident_api_key method without going through the CLI if you’re in a notebook environment:
deepeval.login_with_confident_api_key("YOUR_API_KEY")Once logged in, you’re ready to start using Confident AI with DeepEval for your LLM evaluations.
What’s Next?
In the next section, we’ll quickly setup a prompt and dataset on Confident AI, so that we can start running LLM evaluations.
