Installation

To install the ESP python client, you can use pip:

~$ pip install espclient-<version>.tar.gz

If you have access to the L7 bitbucket repository, you can clone the repo and install like so:

~$ git clone git@bitbucket.org:lab7io/esp.git
~$ cd esp/client
~$ pip install .

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Once you have the client installed, you can check if the installation was successful using the python -m esp status command:

~$ python -m esp -H 127.0.0.1 -P 8002 status

Connecting to esp with following credentials:
   host: 127.0.0.1
   port: 8002
   email: admin@localhost
   cookies: None

Connection established!

For information on how to use the client, see the Usage section of the documentation.
