# Installation

## System Requirements

The Prep SDK and Python Client require, at minimum, Python 3.10. Any computer that meets the requirements for Python 3.10 or higher can be used.

* Windows 7 or greater
* MacOS Mavericks (10.9) or greater
* Linux system that supports Python 3.10 (recommended: Ubuntu 20.04 or greater)

Please also refer to the [Python release documentation](https://www.python.org/downloads/).

### Hardware requirements

* Minimum: 1-core, 8 GB RAM, HD
* 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:

```bash
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:

```bash
emtellisplit-client --version
```

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

```bash
emtellisplit-client, version 1.3.12
```
