Windows Installation
Our Python SDK has been designed to work with Windows 10. It may be possible to use the SDK with other versions of Windows, but it isn't officially supported.
The SDK also only supports Python 3.0 and higher. It won't be possible to use it with Python 2.7.
You will need a few key pieces of software to be installed before using the SDK:
- Python 3
- Git
- pipenv
Visit www.python.org/downloads and download the latest version of Python 3 for Windows.
Run the installer. It is extremely important that you tick Add Python to PATH at this stage. Once it is selected, click Install Now.
The software will take 5-10 minutes to install. Once it is complete, click Close.
Visit git-scm.com/downloads and download the latest version of Git for Windows.
Run the installer. You will see several configuration screens, which you can leave on the default options.
We'll quickly check that everything has installed correctly. From the Start Menu, select Windows PowerShell.
Type the following then press enter:
python --version
You should see a response with the version of python you have installed:
Now test that Git has installed. Type the following then press enter:
git --version
You should see a response with the version of git you have installed:
The final tool we'll need is pipenv. From the PowerShell, type the following then press enter:
pip install pipenv
It will take a couple of minutes to install. You may receive a warning that there is a new version of pip, but don't worry about this.
From your File Explorer, create a new folder for your project.
Navigate to this folder from PowerShell using the cd command:
Once this is done, type the following then press enter:
pipenv install git+https://github.com/automata-tech/eva_python_sdk.git@master#egg=automata
