Supervisely SDK CLI

Use Command Line Interface for easy and convenient usage of supervisely functional right inside your console locally and with shell scripts on instance!

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will discover how to simplify certain basic functions of Supervisely by automating them with easy-to-use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.

The list of commands currently available is not the final list and new commands may be added in the future. If you find that a certain functionality you need is not currently available, you can contact the developers and request that it be added.

Prerequisites

To use CLI you first need to install latest Supervisely package on your preferred Linux system:

pip3 install --upgrade supervisely

After that, you will be able to use CLI. Learn more about SDK installation here

Interact with Projects using CLI

Download a Project

supervisely project download -id <project-id> -d <local-destination>

In the following required arguments, replace:

• <project-id> with the ID of the Supervisely project you want to download. Prefixes: -id, --id

• <local-destination> with the local directory where you want to save the project data. Prefixes: -d, --dst

Get project name

supervisely project get-name -id <project-id>

Replace: <project-id> with the ID of the Supervisely project you want to get name. Prefixes: -id, --id

To export project name right in environmental variable, use the following trick in your shell script:

PROJECT_NAME=$(supervisely project get-name -id $PROJECT_ID)

Upload a Project

supervisely project upload -s <source-local> -id <workspace-id> -n <project-name>

In the following required arguments, replace:

• <local-source> with the local directory where your project is stored. Prefixes: -s, --src

• <workspace-id> with the ID of the target Supervisely workspace. Prefixes: -id, --id

In the following optional arguments, replace:

• <project-name> with the name of the project. By default, it takes the name of the source directory. Prefixes: -n, --name

Interact with Team files using CLI

Download directory from Team files

supervisely teamfiles download -id <team-id> -s <remote-source> -d <local-destination> -f "<filter-text>" -i

In the following required arguments, replace:

• <team-id> with the ID of the actual team. Prefixes: -id, --id

• <remote-source> with the local directory where the files are located. Prefixes: -s, --src

• <local-destination> with the remote directory in Team files where you want to upload the files. Prefixes: -d, --dst

In the following optional arguments, replace:

• "<filter-text>" with the regular expression (f.e. ".jpg$") which will filter files in directory. Then, only filtered files will be downloaded. Prefixes: -f, --filter

• Add the -i flag to ignore and skip if source directory not exists.

Upload directory to Team files

supervisely teamfiles upload -id <team-id> -s <local-source> -d <remote-destination>

In the following required arguments, replace:

• <team-id> with the ID of the actual team. Prefixes: -id, --id

• <local-source> with the local directory where the files are located. Prefixes: -s, --src

• <remote-destination> with the remote directory in Team files where you want to upload the files. Prefixes: -d, --dst

Note: to set link to Team files directory at workspace tasks interface, use following command

Remove directory from Team files

supervisely teamfiles remove-directory -id <team-id> -p <remote-path>

In the following required arguments, replace:

• <team-id> with the ID of the team. Prefixes: -id, --id

• <remote-path> with the path to the folder in Team files. Prefixes: -p, --path

Remove file from Team files

supervisely teamfiles remove-file -id <team-id> -p <remote-path>

In the following required arguments, replace:

• <team-id> with the ID of the team. Prefixes: -id, --id

• <remote-path> with the path to the file in Team files. Prefixes: -p, --path

Interact with Workspace tasks using CLI

Set link to a Team files directory

supervisely task set-output-dir -d <output-path>

Replace <output-path> with the path to the output directory. Prefixes: -d, --dir

Release your Private Apps using CLI

See the full tutorial on how to add Private Apps using CLI.

Here, we will describe components of following command which releases a private app:

supervisely release -p <app-directory> -a <sub-app-directory> --release-version <version> --release-description <description> -s <slug> -y

In the following optional arguments, replace:

• <app-directory> with the path to the directory containing the application. By default, it's a current working directory. Prefixes: -p, --path

• <sub-app-directory> with the path to the sub-app relative to the application directory. By default, it's a current working directory. Prefixes: -a, --sub-app

• <version> with the version number in the format "vX.X.X". By default, there will be a small increment "0.0.1". Prefix: --release-version

• <description> with the release description (max length is 64 symbols). You will be asked to enter description. Prefix: --release-description

• <slug> with the slug for internal use. A term "slug" stands for a short label or ID that is used to identify a specific item or resource (ann app in our case). Prefixes: -s, --slug

• Add the -y flag to auto-confirm the release.

Advanced

To install your own modification or specific version of Supervisely, follow these steps:

Create file requirements.txt

Create file requirements.txt with necessary dependency:

supervisely==<version in format X.X.X> # specific version
# path/to/sdk/supervisely  # alternative (only local debug)
# git+https://github.com/<your_name>/<your_supervisely_fork>.git@<your_branch> # alternative

Make shell script create_venv.sh

Make shell script create_venv.sh with instructions on virtual environment installation.

create_venv.sh

#!/bin/bash

# learn more in documentation
# Official python docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
# Superviely developer portal: https://developer.supervise.ly/getting-started/installation#venv

if [ -d ".venv" ]; then
    echo "VENV already exists, will be removed"
    rm -rf .venv
fi

echo "VENV will be created" && \
python3 -m venv .venv && \
source .venv/bin/activate && \

echo "Install requirements..." && \
pip3 install -r requirements.txt && \
echo "Requirements have been successfully installed" && \
echo "Testing imports, please wait a minute ..." && \
python -c "import supervisely as sly" && \
echo "Success!" && \
deactivate

Activate virtual environment

Run script and choose directory with virtual environment. Then, activate your environment (you will see (.venv) appeared in your console):

cd your/directory/with/script/
./create_venv.sh
source .venv/bin/activate

To use CLI on instance (for example, in your personal shell script), you need to include requirements.txt with Supervisely in your Private App repository
