18.2 Installation and Setup

Setup assumes the Python environment is already installed and available.

Installation

• Prepare the environment:

  The steps below are provided for a standard venv of Python. If you are using other tools (for example, Conda) that might need additional third party software, refer to their instructions on how to prepare the environment.

  For Linux and Mac based systems:

  cd <your work directory>
  python3 -m venv '.venv'
  source '.venv/bin/activate'

  For Windows based systems:

  cd <your work directory>
  python3 -m venv 'venv'
  .\venv\bin\activate or activate.bat (based on your python3 installation)

• Installation is done using the pip3 command as below:

  pip3 install oracle-data-studio

Update PYTHONPATH environment variable

Once the package installation is complete, update PYTHONPATH with the site-packages location.

For Linux and Mac based systems:

export PYTHONPATH=./.venv/lib/python<your-py-version>/site-packages/datatransforms:$PYTHONPATH

For Windows based systems:

export PYTHONPATH=.\venv\lib\python<your-py-version>\site-packages\datatransforms;%PYTHONPATH%
