Install

The most straightforward and recommended method is to use pip.

$ pip install openmetadata

This will pull from the latest release available from PyPI, which you can also find here

Alternatively

If you'd rather pull from git, this is how it can be done:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/abstractfactory/openmetadata.git

In which case you'll get the very latest from the repository. Keep in mind though that you might be getting a work-in-progress release and as development happens in a single branch there might be bugs or unfinished features present.

Release

If you'd rather not use pip, you may also download a release via GitHub. Once downloaded, unpack and go:

$ cd /unpacked_directory
$ python setup.py install

And it will go ahead and install it for you.

No installer

Finally, if you're under restrictions and can't perform an install, you'll be happy to know that Open Metadata is self-contained and can be downloaded and dropped into any existing PYTHONPATH. The inner openmetadata directory of this repository is a pure-python library.
