sudo apt install ldh-operator # Debian-based

or

pipx install ldh-operator # Python-based

Installation (from source)

If you'd prefer to run from source...

1. Install Python 3.x and pipenv. (See https://docs.pipenv.org/install/ for a tutorial.)

2. Get source:

    git clone https://source.puri.sm/liberty/tool/operator.git ldh_operator_toolkit
   

3. Install with pipenv:

    cd ldh_operator_toolkit
    pipenv install --dev -e .
   

Usage (from source)

cd ldh_operator_toolkit
pipenv run whipstaff --help
# using "pipenv run" avoids confusion with a regular installation

Build wheel package (and optionally upload)

Follow these instructions to build Liberty CLI as a Python package:

git clone https://source.puri.sm/liberty/tool/operator.git ldh_operator_toolkit
cd ldh_operator_toolkit
pipenv install --dev
pipenv shell
# optionally edit default.yaml
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

If everything works as expected you should end up with the files:

• dist/ldh_operator-<version>-py3-none-any.whl
• dist/ldh_operator-<version>.tar.gz

You can now optionally upload the created Python package to PyPI using twine:

twine upload dist/*
