Building a Python Interpreter from Source with a Docker Image on Linux
You can build a Python interpreter from source using a Docker image on Linux, and then place the Python interpreter in an SPK deployment on a Spotfire Server running on Linux.
About this task
Before you begin
Before you begin, complete the following two tasks.
- Download and install a suitable 64-bit Python interpreter. Python 3.5 or higher is required.
Note: The steps in this task demonstrate building the Python interpreter using Python version 3.7.12.
- Download TIBCO Spotfire® Statistics Services installation from the TIBCO product site edelivery.tibco.com (license and account required). Spotfire® Statistics Services includes the Spotfire Service for Python.
Procedure
What to do next
Add the SPKs to the Spotfire Server Deployment area, and then validate and save the area. See Adding Software Packages to a Deployment Area and Updating Services in the TIBCO Spotfire® Server Installation and Administration guide for more information. The next time the Spotfire Analyst users connect to the Spotfire Server, they are prompted to update their installations with the new Python Interpreter and packages.
