This document is focused on to get AlectioSDK setup for Mac and Linux based OS.

Here is the workflow to get everything setup

First let make sure we have python 3.6+ installed.

Run:

source ~/.bashrc

this should change you terminal prompt to (base) as prefix. If is does not then lets install python:

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum install -y python36 python36-pip python36-devel

For Debian Based OS

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install -y python36 python36-pip python36-dev

For Mac OS

Make sure you have installed HomeBrew, it's a package manager, it optional but highly recommended. If you have not done so then. You then can use the following to install it:

# HomeBrew Install script
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh>)"
echo 'eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

brew install [email protected]

You can also following official python website instructions to install python 3.6+ or you can install Anaconda. More info here: Anaconda Python, Official Python

Now we will need to install gcc if you already have gcc installed then you can skip this step. gcc is needed to compile several python that are needed.

Also let's install other packages like git, wget and unzip. Again if you have them already please feel free to skip them

Red Hat Based

sudo yum install -y gcc
sudo yum install git -y
sudo yum install wget -y
sudo yum install unzip -y

Debian Based

sudo apt install -y gcc
sudo apt install git -y
sudo apt install wget -y
sudo apt install unzip -y
