Requirements

nisystemlink-clients has the following requirements:

• Access to a SystemLink Server or SystemLink Enterprise installation

• CPython 3.10+

Installation

To install nisystemlink-clients, use one of the following methods:

1. pip:

   $ python -m pip install nisystemlink-clients

2. easy_install from setuptools:

   $ python -m easy_install nisystemlink-clients

Optional Arrow (pyarrow) Support

The base install does not pull in pyarrow. Arrow RecordBatch ingestion via DataFrameClient.append_table_data is available starting in nisystemlink-clients version 2.19.0. Install that version (or newer) with the optional extra:

$ python -m pip install “nisystemlink-clients[pyarrow]>=2.19.0”

If you already have an older version installed, upgrade with:

$ python -m pip install –upgrade “nisystemlink-clients[pyarrow]>=2.19.0”

Without the extra (or when using a package version earlier than 2.19.0), Arrow-specific code paths will raise a RuntimeError when attempting to append pyarrow.RecordBatch instances.

Usage

Refer to the documentation for detailed information on how to use nisystemlink-clients.
