Install the cat-stack Python package — install_cat

Installs the cat-stack Python package into the Python environment used by reticulate. Optionally installs PDF extras.

Usage

install_cat_stack(
  method = "auto",
  conda = "auto",
  pdf = FALSE,
  upgrade = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

method: Installation method passed to reticulate::py_install(). Default "auto".
conda: Conda environment name. Default "auto".
pdf: Logical. If TRUE, installs cat-stack[pdf] with PDF extras. Default FALSE.
upgrade: Logical. If TRUE, upgrades an existing installation. Default FALSE.
...: Additional arguments passed to reticulate::py_install().

Value

Invisibly NULL.

Details

The version floor is pinned to cat-stack >= 2.0.1 — the stable 2.0 line centralizes provider parameter handling (current Anthropic models no longer 400 on creativity / thinking_budget), grades thinking_budget consistently across providers, and fixes description= context routing in classify() / prompt_tune(). Older Python installs work for old models, but silently degrade on the newest Anthropic generation.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Standard install
install_cat_stack()

# With PDF support (installs cat-stack[pdf])
install_cat_stack(pdf = TRUE)

# Upgrade an existing install
install_cat_stack(upgrade = TRUE)
} # }
