Install from Source

For the latest development version or to contribute:

git clone https://github.com/semantica-agi/semantica.git
cd semantica

pip install -e .         # core only
pip install -e ".[all]"  # all extras
pip install -e ".[dev]"  # dev tools (pytest, black, etc.)

Install directly from the main branch if the PyPI release has issues:

pip install git+https://github.com/semantica-agi/semantica.git@main

Troubleshooting

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'semantica'

Make sure you’re in the right virtual environment:

pip list | grep semantica
pip install --upgrade semantica

Installation fails with dependency errors

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install build wheel
pip install semantica --no-deps  # install core first, then add extras

GPU dependencies fail to install

Install CPU-only first, then layer in GPU support:

pip install semantica
pip install semantica[gpu]

Permission denied

pip install --user semantica  # or use a virtual environment

Windows [all] install fails

Fixed in v0.5.0. Upgrade to the latest release:

pip install --upgrade semantica

Windows PyTorch DLL errors on startup

Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. This is a Windows system dependency, not a Semantica bug.
