Installing Python SDK
How to install the DBND SDK.
Installing DBND
From the command line, run the following command:
pip install databand
The DBND PyPI basic package installs only packages required for getting started. Behind the scenes, DBND does conditional imports of operators that require extra dependencies.
Whether you are looking to track your pipeline metadata, or if you want to orchestrate pipelines, you may want to install DBND plugins for integrating with third-party tools.
| See Connecting DBND to Databand to learn how to connect SDK integrations into your Databand Application.
Installing Plugins
Run the following command to install any of the plugins listed in the tables below. For example:
pip install dbnd-spark dbnd-airflow
You can use bundled installation via databand[plugin-slug]
pip install databand[spark,airflow]
