SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves the common mistake of installing the wrong PyPI package when trying to use the financial Kronos forecasting model, which can lead to failed imports, missing dependencies, and confusion about the correct package name.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Correct Installation Path: Identifies when pip install kronos installs an unrelated Django-based scheduler instead of the financial model.
  • Model Loading Guidance: Shows how to install Kronos from the official GitHub repository and import it through the correct model package.
  • Tokenizer and Device Setup: Provides the right checkpoint-to-tokenizer pairings and Mac-safe device guidance for cpu and mps.
  • Use Case: A quant developer wants to run Kronos forecasts in a trading pipeline but keeps getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'; this Skill points them to the proper source install and import pattern.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to help you install Kronos from the official GitHub repository and load it with the correct model imports and tokenizer pairing for your checkpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions about kronos-pypi-collision

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why does pip install kronos give me a Django scheduler instead of the financial forecasting model?

The PyPI package named kronos is an unrelated Django-based scheduler, not the financial forecasting model. To install the correct Kronos OHLCV transformer, you must install it directly from the official GitHub repository.

How do I install the Kronos financial forecasting model from source?

To install the Kronos financial forecasting model, clone the official GitHub repository and run the installation from that source instead of using pip install kronos. This ensures you get the correct OHLCV transformer code and dependencies.

How do I fix ModuleNotFoundError No module named django when importing Kronos?

The ModuleNotFoundError occurs because pip installed the wrong Django scheduler package. Uninstall it and reinstall the Kronos financial model from its official GitHub repository, then use the correct model package imports.

Can I run the Kronos forecasting model on Mac with MPS or CPU?

Yes, the Kronos model supports Mac-safe device selection for both cpu and mps. You need to configure the correct device setting during model loading to run the forecasting pipeline on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs.

How do I load the correct tokenizer for Kronos model checkpoints?

Loading the Kronos model requires matching the specific checkpoint to its correct tokenizer pairing. You must select the appropriate checkpoint-specific tokenizer during the model setup to ensure accurate financial forecasting.

What is the correct Python import path for the Kronos OHLCV transformer?

After installing Kronos from the official GitHub repository, the correct import path uses the model package. This bypasses the incorrect PyPI package and loads the actual financial forecasting transformer code.
