Installing Qlik-SDK to EC2 Instance Ubuntu

[richard_pearce6]

Hi All,

I'm stuggling to import the qlik-sdk into my AWS EC2 instance Ubuntu. I've tried many, many comands so far:

The simplest sudo apt install python2-qlik-sdk gives me a not found error. I though the URL (https://pypi.org/project/qlik-sdk) wasn't reachable but I don't think that the case from other tests

I've treid a more complex pipx install

From the details log: 

WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7e0bcceccaa0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable')': /simple/qlik-sdk/

I apprectate this maybe more of an aws support issue although I though some of the clever technical people on here may have a simple solution for me 🙂

Many thanks in advance

Hi @richard_pearce6 

The following worked for me:

# Install python3-full if not present
sudo apt install python3-full python3-venv -y

# Create a venv (pick a path that makes sense for your use case)
python3 -m venv /home/emm/qlik-env

# Activate it
source /home/emm/qlik-env/bin/activate

# Install inside the venv
pip install qlik-sdk

# Confirm
python3 -c "import qlik_sdk; print(qlik_sdk.__version__)"

I hope that helps.

BR,

Amazing, thanks! got that installed!

I had to change a couple of commands: 

# Create a venv (pick a path that makes sense for your use case)
sudo python3 -m venv /home/emm/qlik-env

# Activate it
source /home/emm/qlik-env/bin/activate

# Install inside the venv
sudo /home/emm/qlik-env/bin/pip install qlik-sdk

# Confirm
python3 -c "import qlik_sdk; print(qlik_sdk.__version__)"

Thanks very much for helping me!
