Installation

Access to the 3Flatline Dixie platform is accomplished by using a Command Line Interface (CLI). This CLI has very few requirements, only requiring the following environment and packages:

Python 3.10+ Python packages (also contained in the accompanying requirements.txt file):

boto3
botocore
cmd2
pyfiglet
requests
tiktoken

The following document will walk you through installation of the CLI.

Step-By-Step

Note: These instructions are for MacOS or Linux. For Windows, we recommend installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

1. To start, ensure you have Python 3.10+ installed on the desired machine.
2. (Optional) Create a Python virtual environment to install the dependencies and avoid conflict with other installed packages.

Create the virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
source /path/to/new/virtual/environment/bin/activate

3. Download/install the CLI. It is available as a direct download or PyPI repo depending on your choice.

• Github Download: https://github.com/3Flatline/3flatline-public

Download the source file and decompress it using your desired utility. Next, install the requirements.txt file using the following command: pip install -r requirements.txt When this completes, you can run the CLI using the python or python3 command and then providing the path to the CLI location: python ./3flatline-cli.py

• PyPI Repo: https://pypi.org/project/three-flatline-cli/ Run: pip install three-flatline-cli This will download all the requirements. Once complete, the CLI can be run using the 3flatline command:

4. Don't forget to authenticate, and happy hunting!
