Install artifacts#

Install Windows artifacts by using the pip command:

python -m pip install "ansys-stk==0.1.1"

python -m pip install ansys_stk-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl

python -m pip install ansys_stk-0.1.1.tar.gz

Install extra artifacts#

PySTK includes some additional features such as gRPC connection support or Jupyter widgets for visualization. These features require some extra artifacts to be installed, either pulling those dependencies from the public PyPi registry or from the wheelhouses included on the artifacts page. A wheelhouse provide all the required dependencies. It facilitates deploying PySTK on isolated networks that do not have access to the public PyPi registry.

Start by selecting the additional feature group to install with PySTK. Finally, select the type of installation.

Install the extra dependencies by running:

python -m pip install ansys-stk[all]

Download the wheelhouse for all extra artifacts. Then, decompress it by running:
