Installing GuardRails AI

Guardrails AI runs anywhere your python app runs. It is a simple pip install away.

pip install guardrails-ai

Releases

Currently in beta, GuardRails AI maintains both stable and pre-release versions.

Different versions can be found in the PyPi Release History: https://pypi.org/project/guardrails-ai/#history

Install Pre-Release Version

To install the latest, experimental pre-released version, run:

pip install --pre guardrails-ai

Install specific version

To install a specific version, run:

# pip install guardrails-ai==[version-number]

# Example:
pip install guardrails-ai==0.2.0a6

Install from GitHub

Installing directly from GitHub is useful when a release has not yet been cut with the changes pushed to a branch that you need. Non-released versions may include breaking changes, and may not yet have full test coverage. We recommend using a released version whenever possible.

# pip install git+https://github.com/guardrails-ai/guardrails.git@[branch/commit/tag]
# Examples:
pip install git+https://github.com/guardrails-ai/guardrails.git@main
pip install git+https://github.com/guardrails-ai/guardrails.git@dev

The GuardRails package doesn't support pydantic versions 2.0.0 and above. We recommend using pydantic version 1.10.9.

pip install pydantic==1.10.9
