Install Python
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
Python is a popular programming language that can be used for advanced analytics and data modeling. Symphonyintegrates with Python at the data cube level via two transforms, which you can use to supply data to the data cube or perform data processing and analysis on other data.
Important: The minimum supported version of Python for Managed Dashboards and Reports is Python 3.8.
Install Python
To install Python on Windows, download and run the installer for the 64-bit version of Python.
On Linux, the standard default version of python3 provided by supported Linux distributions and versions is normally used except where noted otherwise in the system requirements for your version of the software.
The process on Windows is generally:
Run the Python setup.
Select Customize installation and clickNext on the Optional Features page.
Select Install for all users on the Advanced Options page and click Install.
Install Packages
Packages other than those installed automatically by Symphony must be installed by an administrator on the server that runs Symphony before they can be used in Python transforms.
For example, to install the common pandas package, which includes other packages such as NumPy:
Open the command prompt or terminal on the Symphony server as an administrator (e.g., right-click on Command Prompt in the start menu and choose Run as administrator).
-
You may need to navigate to the particular Scripts folder corresponding with the version of Python used by Symphony. For example:
cd C:\Program Files\Python38\Scripts
-
Use pip to install the package. For example:
pip install pandas
The Python-related transforms in Symphony require a result to be returned by the Python script, which can be represented as a table. This includes results generated using the NumPy and Pandas packages for data analysis.
You may be required to restart the server after installing Python.
