Building a Python Interpreter from Source with a Docker Image on Windows
You can build a Python interpreter from source using a Docker image on Windows, and then place the Python interpreter in a Spotfire package to deploy on a Spotfire Server running on Linux.
About this task
Before you begin
Before you begin, complete the following tasks.
- Download and install a suitable 64-bit Python interpreter. Python 3.7 or higher is required. Make sure it is configured to work correctly with your system. (The steps in this task demonstrate building the Python interpreter using Python version 3.8.12.)
- Download TIBCO Spotfire® Statistics Services installation for your operating system from the TIBCO product site
edelivery.tibco.com (license and account required). Spotfire® Statistics Services includes the Spotfire Service for Python.
Note: You do not need to install Spotfire Statistics Services.
- In the Spotfire Statistics Services downloaded bundle, find the component Spotfire Service for Python.
- Extract the contents of the Spotfire Service for Python installation archive.
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.
