Connect Python and the Python API (windows)

To connect Python with the Flow Production Tracking Python API, run a PowerShell as an administrator by typing Windows+R to open Run, type PowerShell, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

The PowerShell will now be open.

Navigate to the directory in which the python-api-master directory is located. Enter the following command into a PowerShell, replacing the directory with your own. In this case, the directory is: C:\Users\Default\shotgridDemo\python-api-master

cd “C:\Users\Default\shotgridDemo\python-api-master”

Hit Return. Copy and paste the following command into the PowerShell to run setup.py.

python setup.py install

The Python API has now been successfully installed.

With your files downloaded and in your desired working directory, you’re now ready to connect Python and the Python API.
