RegScale Command Line Interface (CLI)

This CLI application is for supporting advanced automation and bulk data processing related to the RegScale Compliance Automation Platform. This application is intended to run as a "side car" that be scheduled via CRON job or serverless function to perform sophisticated data processing. The CLI includes multiple libraries for processing data, connecting to RegScale Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and commercial integrations. This software may be packaged and included in other commercial software to lower the level of effort associated with building RegScale integrations to other commercial tools.

See full documentation on regscale.readme.io.

pip install --upgrade pip

# install RegScale CLI
pip install regscale-cli

# optional: install application with "server" packages
pip install "regscale-cli[server]"

Windows

# create and activate python virtual environment
python -m venv venv
