Getting Started

Installation Guide

The Flower documentation has detailed instructions on what you need to install Flower and how you install it. Spoiler alert: you only need pip! Check out our installation guide.

PyTorch, TensorFlow, 🤗, ...?

Do you use PyTorch, TensorFlow, MLX, scikit-learn, or Hugging Face? Then simply follow our quickstart examples that help you to federate your existing ML projects.

_Why Flower?

A unified approach to federated learning, analytics, and evaluation.

Scalability

Flower was built to enable real-world systems with a large number of clients. Researchers used Flower to run workloads with tens of millions of clients.

ML Framework Agnostic

Flower is compatible with most existing and future machine learning frameworks. You love Keras? Great. You prefer PyTorch? Awesome. Raw NumPy, no automatic differentiation? You rock!

Cloud, Mobile, Edge & Beyond

Flower enables research on all kinds of servers and devices, including mobile. AWS, GCP, Azure, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi, and Nvidia Jetson are all compatible with Flower.

Research to Production

Flower enables ideas to start as research projects and then gradually move towards production deployment with low engineering effort and proven infrastructure.

Platform Independent

Flower is interoperable with different operating systems and hardware platforms to work well in heterogeneous edge device environments.

Usability

It's easy to get started. 20 lines of Python is enough to build a full federated learning system. Check the code examples to get started with your favorite framework.
