## Install

For a fresh local checkout:
The quickest local install is from PyPI:

```bash
uv tool install "nemo-platform[all]"
nemo setup
```

For a source checkout (contributing, local plugins, or Studio from source),
install [Flox](https://flox.dev/docs/install-flox/install) first, then:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/nemo-platform.git
cd nemo-platform
make bootstrap
source .venv/bin/activate
flox -q activate
nemo setup

official Flox documentation flox activate -c command mode child shell

💡 Result:

The flox activate command in Flox is used to activate a project environment. It supports several execution modes, including a command mode that allows you to run specific commands within an activated environment without launching an interactive shell [1]. The two primary ways to run commands in an activated environment are: 1. Shell Command Mode (-c): You can use the -c flag to execute a specific shell command string within a subshell started in the activated environment [1]. Example: flox activate -c "npm run build" The shell used to execute this command is determined by the $FLOX_SHELL environment variable, or it falls back to $SHELL [1]. Because this mode runs within a shell, it supports standard shell features like command chaining (e.g., &&) [1]. 2. Exec Command Mode (--): You can use the -- separator to run a specific command or script directly within the activated environment [1]. Example: flox activate -- cargo run This approach is particularly useful for running scripts or binaries contained within the profile [1]. In both cases, Flox launches a subshell to execute the command, ensuring that the environment variables and dependencies configured for that project are active for the duration of that command [1][2][3]. This is distinct from "in-place" activation, which is typically used to modify the current shell's state (often via eval "$(flox activate)") [1][4].

site:flox.dev/docs/man/flox-activate "flox activate" subshell script no command

💡 Result:

When you run flox activate without providing a specific command (via the -c flag or the -- separator), it enters interactive mode [1]. In this mode, flox activate launches an interactive subshell configured with the environment's variables and packages [1]. The specific shell executable used for this subshell is determined by the FLOX_SHELL environment variable, or if that is not set, it defaults to the SHELL environment variable [1]. If you wish to behave differently, such as modifying the current shell in-place rather than spawning a new subshell, you can use the in-place mode by evaluating the output of the command in your current shell: eval "$(flox activate)" This method emits shell commands that configure your existing session instead of launching a new, nested shell process [1].

Run nemo setup inside the Flox environment.

flox -q activate starts a separate shell. The separate nemo setup command is not guaranteed to use that environment. Use Flox command mode:

Proposed fix 
- flox -q activate
- nemo setup
+ flox -q activate -c "nemo setup"

Apply this change to both the install and upgrade source-checkout flows.

both install and upgrade source-checkout flows so nemo setup runs through Flox
command mode in the same environment started by flox -q activate, rather than as
a separate shell command.

## Upgrade from v0.4.x

From an existing local checkout:
If you installed from PyPI:

```bash
uv tool install "nemo-platform[all]"
nemo setup
```

From an existing local source checkout, install
[Flox](https://flox.dev/docs/install-flox/install) first, then:

```bash
git fetch
git checkout main
make bootstrap
source .venv/bin/activate
flox -q activate
nemo setup
```

Without Flox, run `make TOOLCHAIN=system bootstrap` followed by
`source .venv/bin/activate`.

After setup, restart local services before using CLI, SDK, Studio, or plugin
workflows against the upgraded checkout.
