  • Recommended: 2-cores, 16 GB RAM, SSD

In addition, the computer must have connectivity to the Internet and sufficient storage capacity for the customer’s workload requirements.

Installing the package

Using pip, you’ll be able to install the .whl package you’ve been provided in the SDK files:

python3.10 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade wheel setuptools
pip install emtellisplit-client-1.3.12-py3-none-any.whl

Now that you’ve installed the package, you should have an emtellisplit-client executable in your PATH. To ensure that this was installed successfully, you can do a test run to just print out the client version number:

emtellisplit-client --version

If this is successful, you should see some output that looks like:

emtellisplit-client, version 1.3.12
