init

✓ from lamindb_setup import init

✗ import lamindb.setup as ln_setup

Initialize a local LaminDB instance with storage directory and required modules (e.g., bionty).

import lamindb.setup as ln_setup import os ln_setup.init(storage="./test_storage", modules="bionty")

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 1.0+, `lamindb.setup.init()` requires the `modules` parameter; omitting it raises an error.

fix

Always pass a list of module names (e.g., `modules='bionty'`).

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingThe `init` function no longer accepts `db` or `password` parameters. Database configuration is now done via LaminDB settings or environment variables.

fix

Use `ln_setup.settings.instance.db` or set environment variables `LAMINDB_DB` and `LAMINDB_PASSWORD`.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecated`lamindb.setup.login()` is deprecated; use `ln_setup.init(storage=..., modules=...)` instead.

fix

Replace `ln_setup.login()` with `ln_setup.init(...)`.

affects: >=1.10.0

gotchaThe environment variable `LAMINDB_INSTANCE` must be set before importing `lamindb.setup` if you want to use a remote instance. Otherwise, a local instance is created.

fix

Set `LAMINDB_INSTANCE` in your shell or use `os.environ['LAMINDB_INSTANCE']='...'` before import.

affects: all

gotchaCalling `ln_setup.init()` more than once in the same session raises a `RuntimeError`.

fix

Check `ln_setup.is_initialized()` before calling `init()`, or restart the Python session.

affects: all
