Installation

User Installation Requirements (Seeq Data Lab)

If you want to install seeq-udf-ui as a Seeq Add-on Tool, you will need a version of Seeq Data Lab:

• Seeq Data Lab (> R50.5.0, >R51.1.0, or >R52.1.0)
• Seeq module whose version matches the Seeq server version, and the version of SPy >= 182.25
• Seeq server admin access

User Installation (Seeq Data Lab)

1. Create a new Seeq Data Lab project, and open the terminal window.

2. Run pip install seeq-udf-ui

3. (if you would like to install a version not on PyPi, pip install a local .whl file)

4. Run python -m seeq.addons.udf_ui [--users <users_list> --groups <groups_list>]. During the installation you will be prompted for your username/password (an access key can also be used). It will also prompt for the url of the app notebook which will be available from the deployment folder in Seeq Data Lab.

5. Verify that the UDF UI add-on is present in the AddOn menu in workbench.

Source Installation

For development work, after checking out the code from repository, it is highly recommended you create a python virtual environment, pip install -r requirement.txt, and install the package in that working environment. If you are not familiar with python virtual environments, it is recommended you take a look here.

Once your virtual environment is activated, you can install seeq-udf-ui from source with:

python setup.py install

Or build a .whl file using the following command

python setup.py bdist_wheel

and then pip install [FILE NAME].whl (the wheel file name can change depending on the version).
