Installing Pyngres

Important

Actian Ingres, Vector, OpenROAD, or the Actian Client Runtime must be installed before you can use Pyngres. These products are available from the Actian Electronic Software Distribution site.

Pyngres requires Python 3.8 or higher. It does not require any specific version of the Actian products.

Ingres, Vector, and OpenROAD require a licence file. The Client Runtime does not.

Tip

Licences can be purchased from Actian Partners such as Rational Commerce Ltd. (contact sales@rationalcommerce.com) or from Actian directly.

It is good practice to create and activate a virtual environment for your python projects. Once you have your environment activated (if you are using one) install pyngres from PyPI:

pip install pyngres

Verify that Pyngres is installed and is able to discover the Actian OpenAPI on your system. Do this by starting Python and importing pyngres.

If there are no error messages when it is imported then pyngres has discovered the OpenAPI and is ready for use.
