Installing Libraries

ARDI is designed to run on a wide range of different systems and a huge variety of applications.

Because of this, we don't include everything with an ARDI installation. If you use new features, drivers or modules, you might need to install extra Python Modules.

Installing Python Modules

To install a module, you'll first need its name. For example, the library to help publish reports to Google Drive is called gdrive2.

Once you know its name, you'll need to do the following…

  • Sign into your ARDI server (for example, using SSH for Linux or Remote Desktop for Windows servers),
  • Open a terminal/command window,
  • Type the following, replacing packagename with the name of the Python package you need.

On Linux

pip3 install packagename

On Windows

c:\python\scripts\pip install packagename
