Installation
Tensorify is a web-based platform - no local installation required for the visual editor. However, to run exported workflows locally, you'll need Python set up on your machine.
Using Tensorify (Web)
The Tensorify visual editor runs entirely in your browser:
- Visit app.tensorify.io
- Sign up or log in
- Start building workflows
No downloads or installations needed.
Local Execution Requirements
To run exported Python code locally, you'll need:
Python
Tensorify generates Python 3.10+ compatible code.
# Check your Python version
python --version
# Should output Python 3.10.x or higher
If you need to install Python, visit python.org.
pip (Package Manager)
pip comes bundled with Python. Verify it's available:
pip --version
Virtual Environment (Recommended)
We recommend using virtual environments to isolate dependencies:
# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv tensorify-env
# Activate it (macOS/Linux)
source tensorify-env/bin/activate
# Activate it (Windows)
tensorify-env\Scripts\activate
Installing Workflow Dependencies
Each exported workflow includes a requirements.txt file:
# Navigate to your workflow folder
cd my-workflow
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
Common Dependencies
Depending on your plugins, you might need:
| Plugin Type | Dependencies |
| --------------- | ---------------------------- |
| OpenAI | openai |
| Anthropic | anthropic |
| Data Processing | pandas, numpy |
| ML/PyTorch | torch, torchvision |
| Web Scraping | requests, beautifulsoup4 |
| Databases | psycopg2-binary, pymongo |
GPU Support (Optional)
For ML workflows with GPU requirements:
CUDA Setup
- Install NVIDIA drivers for your GPU
- Install CUDA Toolkit (11.8+ recommended)
- Install cuDNN
PyTorch with CUDA
# Install PyTorch with CUDA support
pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
Skip GPU setup complexity by using Tensorify's cloud execution with automatic GPU provisioning.
Environment Variables
Many plugins require API keys. Set them as environment variables:
# OpenAI
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
# Anthropic
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# Or use a .env file
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-..." >> .env
Docker (Alternative)
For reproducible environments, use Docker:
FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD ["python", "main.py"]
Build and run:
docker build -t my-workflow .
docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY my-workflow
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
ModuleNotFoundError: Make sure you've installed dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
API Key errors: Verify environment variables are set correctly
Python version mismatch: Tensorify requires Python 3.10+
