Create a Python virtual environment
Using a virtual environment provides a layer of isolation and prevents interference from other python environments on your machine.
- macOS / Linux
- Windows (PowerShell)
- conda
- uv
- pyenv
- venv
conda create -n tabsdata python=3.12 -y
conda activate tabsdata
uv venv --python 3.12.13 .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pyenv install 3.12.13
pyenv local 3.12.13
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m venv .venv

Some Notes on Tabsdata Server Providers
Tabsdata runs on Kubernetes, and the local deployment uses kminus: a lightweight provider that runs pods as native processes in your Python environment instead of Docker containers, so it needs no root or administrator access. Continue with Deploy on k-minus, or deploy on AWS EKS, Azure AKS, or Google GKE.
