Installation

To use the NLDS, first you must install the client software. This guide will show you how to install it into a Python virtual-environment (virtualenv) in your user space or home directory.

  1. Log onto the machine where you wish to install the NLDS client into your user space or home directory.

  2. Create a Python virtual environment:
    python3 -m venv ~/nlds-client

  3. Activate your new virtual environment:
    source ~/nlds-client/bin/activate

  4. It is a good idea to upgrade your version of pip - otherwise some modules may fail to install:
    pip install --upgrade pip

  5. Install the nlds-client package from github:
    pip install git+https://github.com/cedadev/nlds-client.git
