Installing Additional Python Packages

If you need additional Python packages to run your analysis automation tasks, you can extend the SystemLink Python environment.

Before you begin, go to the Python Package Index repository (PyPI) to determine the name of the package you want to install.
  1. Log in to SystemLink as administrator.
  2. Open Windows command prompt.
  3. Change the work directory to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Skyline\Python\<latest version>.
  4. Execute the command python -m pip install <package>, where <package> is the name of the package in PyPI you wish to install.
