Python client-side API for the Thor Bayesian optimization library.

Thor Python Client

This repository contains the Thor Python Client, which is a client-side interface for Thor Server. The Thor Server and Thor Python Client together provide a light-weight and powerful architecture for Bayesian optimization in Python.

Installation

1. Install dependent libraries with pip. pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Clone this repository. git clone [e-mail]:JamesBrofos/Thor-Python-Client.git
3. Run the setup.py function to install the client-side software: python setup.py install
4. Make sure you have signed up for an account with Thor.
5. Create a configuration file by copying the example. cp config.ini.example config.ini. If you are using Thor for multiple projects, you could instead place this config file in your home directory as ~/.thorconfig.ini. The client will look first in the current directory, and then in your home directory.
6. Edit your new config file to include your AUTH_TOKEN, available from your Thor server account, and the base_url of your Thor server. Note: leave the /api/{}/ portion of the base_url configuration parameter unchanged; just update the protocol, hostname, and port, if necessary.
