**Iris** is your portal to the Titan platform. Using Iris, you can launch jobs to run on TitanML servers, run your own models and datasets through our compression algorithms, and explore and download the optimised models from the Titan platform using the Takeoff server.

Start by installing `titan-iris` from the command line with PyPi (pip is currently the only supported package manager):

```bash
pip install titan-iris
```

The `titan-iris` package is compatible with Python versions 3.7+.

After installing Iris, you will need to create an account; there are more details on this in the next section.
