Installing CML as a Package

CML comes pre-installed in our provided Docker Images. Alternatively, GitHub users can also use the setup-cml action.

However, in all other cases, CML can be installed directly as a Node.js package using the package manager npm (see below):

$ npm i -g @dvcorg/cml

You may also need to install additional dependencies to use DVC plots and Vega-Lite:

$ sudo apt-get install -y \
  libcairo2-dev libfontconfig-dev \
  libgif-dev libjpeg-dev libpango1.0-dev librsvg2-dev
$ npm install -g vega-cli vega-lite

Installing Node.js

Instructions for installing Node.js and its package manager npm can be found below.

GitLab

Install Node.js from source:

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install -y nodejs

GitHub

Node.js is likely already available in most GitHub Actions runners. However, to install a particular version, add the following step to your workflow:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v1
  with:
    node-version: '16'
