Installation

This sections covers the step-step instruction about the Lyftrondata connector installation. It's must to have Python 3.9 as the default version for our drivers to work efficiently.

Prerequisite

The Lyftrondata driver for Aftershiptracking) requires the below versions

• Python 3.9

• Python 3 pip

• Connector Wheel file

• Valid license

• Knowledge of Python programming

• Knowledge of SQL

Installation Steps

To start your installation, you need to download the wheel file. The downloaded archive contains several whl files, each of which corresponds to a specific combination of environmental factors. These factors include:

• The operating system that the python connector is used in, whether it is Windows, Mac, or Linux.

• The Architecture of the operating system, whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows systems, this will correspond to the win32 or win_amd64 wheels. For Linux, this will correspond to the linux_i686 and linux_x86_64 wheels.

• The version of Python is in use. The connectors are supported in Python 3.9 for Windows and Linux, and for Mac.

• Once the appropriate whl file is identified, install the connector to your Python distribution with the "pip install" command via the command line. This will usually take the form of running the following commands in sequence. The wheel for Python 3.9 is used for the below example:

Linux

Lyftrondata_Linux_Sdk

sudo apt-get install python3.9
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
python3 -m venv myvenv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install Lyftrondata_Mylibrary.whl

Windows

Lyftrondata_Win_Sdk

winget install -e --id Python.Python -v 3.9.0
python3 -m venv myvenv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install Lyftrondata_Mylibrary.whl

Mac

brew install [email protected]
python3 -m venv myvenv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install Lyftrondata_Mylibrary.whl

Validation

You can confirm whether the connector is successfully installed by running the pip list command. If "Lyftrondata_Mylibrary.whl" is present in the list output by the command, then the installation was successful.

pip list 

Uninstallation

Should the connector need to be uninstalled for any reason, you can do so by running the pip uninstall command, as in the example below:

pip uninstall Lyftrondata_Mylibrary.whl

License Key

The license key will be provided by the Lyftrondata team which will be used for driver connectivity validation.

import Lyftrondata.MyConnector.lib.Lyftrondata_MyConnector_Connector as con
lyft = con.Connect("My Lyftrondata license key")
