SquirroClient Installation

This document explains the setup of the Python SDK for Squirro (SquirroClient). It starts with the setup of Python itself, a step that is optional if you already have Python installed.

Set up Python

Ensure you have an environment set up with Python version 3.9, 3.10 or 3.11. Squirro recommends working with an isolated Python environment. Covering the details of setting up and working with virtualenv is beyond the scope of this guide. A suggested read for setting up isolated environments is the virtualenv website.

SquirroClient

At this point, you can install the SquirroClient Python SDK.

For this, execute the following commands in the Windows command prompt:

pip install SquirroClient

To upgrade to the latest version you can run:

pip install --upgrade SquirroClient

To see which version is currently installed:

pip freeze

If pip is not an option for you, you can download and install the SquirroClient manually:

• Download the package from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SquirroClient

• Extract the archive and enter the folder

• Execute the following command:

  python setup.py install
