Neat Library

The Neat Library is the C++ and Python API for running models and building applications for Modalix.

Using the Neat SDK? You can skip this section

The Neat SDK container comes with the Neat Library installed, and pairing a DevKit during setup also installs the matching Neat Library and bundled PyNeat environment on the DevKit automatically. If you installed the Neat SDK — whether or not you paired a DevKit — you already have the Neat Library and can skip this section to get started.

Use this section only when you want to update the Neat Library independently of the SDK, or set it up directly on a DevKit or bare host without the Neat SDK.

You can update the Neat Library independently when you need a newer compatible version without reinstalling the SDK container. For supported combinations, see the Compatibility Guide.
