Basic BigARTM tutorial for Windows users¶
This tutorial gives guidelines for installing and running existing BigARTM examples via command-line interface and from Python environment.
Download¶
Download latest binary distribution of BigARTM from https://github.com/bigartm/bigartm/releases. Explicit download links can be found at Downloads section (for 32 bit and 64 bit configurations).
The distribution will contain pre-build binaries, command-line interface and BigARTM API for Python. The distribution also contains a simple dataset and few python examples that we will be running in this tutorial. More datasets in BigARTM-compatible format are available in the Downloads section.
Refer to Windows distribution for details about other files, included in the binary distribution package.
Running BigARTM from command line¶
No installation steps are required to run BigARTM from command line.
After unpacking binary distribution simply open command prompt (cmd.exe
),
change current directory to bin
folder inside BigARTM package, and run cpp_client.exe
application as in the following example.
As an optional step, we recommend to add bin
folder of the BigARTM distribution to your PATH
system variable.
>C:\BigARTM\bin>set PATH=%PATH%;C:\BigARTM\bin
>C:\BigARTM\bin>cpp_client.exe -v ../python/examples/vocab.kos.txt -d ../python/examples/docword.kos.txt -t 4
Parsing text collection... OK.

We recommend to download larger datasets, available in Downloads section.
All docword
and vocab
files can be consumed by BigARTM exactly as in the previous example.
Internally BigARTM always parses such files into batches format (for example, enron_1k (7.1 MB)). If you have downloaded such pre-parsed collection, you may feed it into BigARTM as follows:
>C:\BigARTM\bin>cpp_client.exe --batch_folder C:\BigARTM\enron
Reuse 40 batches in folder 'enron'
Loading dictionary file... OK.
Iteration 1 took 2502 milliseconds.
For more information about cpp_client.exe
refer to /ref/cpp_client
section.
Configure BigARTM Python API¶
Install Python, for example from the following links:
- Python 2.7.9, 64 bit – https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/python-2.7.9.amd64.msi, or
- Python 2.7.9, 32 bit – https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/python-2.7.9.msi
Remember that the version of BigARTM package must match your version Python installed on your machine. If you have 32 bit operating system then you must select 32 bit for Python and BigARTM package. If you have 64 bit operating system then you are free to select either version. However, please note that memory usage of 32 bit processes is limited by 2 GB. For this reason we recommend to select 64 bit configurations.
Also you need to have several Python libraries to be installed on your machine:
- numpy >= 1.9.2
- scipy >= 0.15.0
- pandas >= 0.16.2
- scikit-learn >= 0.16.1
Add
C:\BigARTM\bin
folder to yourPATH
system variable, and addC:\BigARTM\python
to yourPYTHONPATH
system variable:set PATH=%PATH%;C:\BigARTM\bin set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\BigARTM\Python
Remember to change
C:\BigARTM
andC:\Python27
with your local folders.Setup Google Protocol Buffers library, included in the BigARTM release package.
- Copy
C:\BigARTM\bin\protoc.exe
file intoC:\BigARTM\protobuf\src
folder - Run the following commands from command prompt
cd C:\BigARTM\protobuf\Python python setup.py build python setup.py install
Avoid
python setup.py test
step, as it produces several confusing errors. Those errors are harmless. For further details about protobuf installation refer to protobuf/python/README.- Copy
If you are getting errors when configuring or using Python API, please refer to Troubleshooting chapter in Basic BigARTM tutorial for Linux and Mac OS-X users. The list of issues is common between Windows and Linux.
Running BigARTM from Python API¶
Refer to ARTM notebook (in Russian or in English), which describes high-level Python API of BigARTM.
