Example project

Install the plugin in a virtual environment

Create a conda environment and install kedro-mlflow (this will automatically install kedro>=0.16.0).

conda create -n km_example python=3.9 --yes
conda activate km_example
pip install kedro-mlflow==0.13.1

Install the toy project

For this end to end example, we will use the kedro starter with the iris dataset.

We use this project because:

• it covers most of the common use cases

• it is compatible with older version of Kedro so newcomers are used to it

• it is maintained by Kedro maintainers and therefore enforces some best practices.

Installation with kedro>=0.19.0

Warning

For kedro>=0.19.0, pandas-iris starter has been removed. It is recommended to install spaceflights-pandas starter instead.

Installation with kedro>=0.16.3

The default starter is now called “pandas-iris”. In a new console, enter:

kedro new --starter=pandas-iris
