Steps

1. In a web browser, open Quickstart for model documentation.

   This link takes you to ValidMind’s JupyterHub instance where you can log in with the Auth0 credentials for your ValidMind account to access the QuickStart for model documentation notebook:

   

   QuickStart notebook opened in JupyterHub

   The notebook will guide you through installing the ValidMind Library, initializing the Python environment, and finally connecting the library to the ValidMind Platform.

2. Follow the instructions to run the first two code cells in the notebook, which will set the stage by installing and initializing ValidMind:¹

   • Hover over each cell and click the icon; OR
   • Press Shift + Enter on Windows or Cmd + Enter if you are on a Mac

   Under the cell at bottom of the Initialize the ValidMind Library section, confirm that you see a success message that looks something like this:

   2024-10-08 22:06:42,610 - INFO(validmind.api_client): 🎉 Connected to ValidMind!
   📊 Model: [Demo] Customer Churn Model (ID: clwqy70qd01my22ikc49paar9)
   📁 Document Type: model_documentation

   This message verifies that the library works as expected as is connected to the correct model within the platform.

¹ Install and initialize the ValidMind Library

You can now continue running the rest of the cells if you want to see how the demo notebook works or, to save some time, you can move on to the Explore sample model documentation to explore the platform.
