Module Installation

To install the Insight Python module, complete the following steps.
You must have administrator account privileges on the host machine.

The Insight Python Module is compatible with 3.7.x and above.

You might have multiple versions of Python. Python 2 and Python 3 are different programs, and Python 2.7.x installations can be run separately from the Python 3.7.x version on the same system. There are additional features in Python 3 which means it is not entirely backward compatible.

To check the version of Python you are running, open a Terminal or Command window and type:

python --version

To check the version of Python 3 software:

python3 --version

Note By default, Python/pip commands points to the first binary found in PATH environment variable. You may need to edit your environment variables to call Python 3 first.
