Install the Python module

To install the Python module:

1. Locate the installation files, which, if you installed Shogun Live in the default location, are found in this folder:

   C:\Program Files\Vicon\ShogunLive#.#\SDK\Python
   These files are displayed:

   

2. You can install the Shogun Live Python module in either of the following ways, depending on your particular installation:

   • The simplest way is to run the batch file (install_shogun_live_api.bat) that is included in the Shogun Live installation (as shown in the above image). This usually works well if:

     • Python was installed to the PATH variable; or

     • Multiple versions of Python are installed but you want to install the API to the latest version that you installed; or

     • Only a single version of Python is installed.

     If any of these conditions apply, install the Python module by running the batch file.

   • In all other cases, install the Python module by using pip. This usually applies if:

     • Multiple versions of Python are installed but you want to install to a specific version; or

     • Multiple different versions of Python are installed and you want to install to all of them (in this case, you must install the module for each version); or

     • Only a single version of Python is installed, but you didn't install to PATH.

     If any of these conditions apply, install the Python module by running pip.
