Install Tailer SDK

This page contains instructions for installing and configuring Tailer SDK, and logging in to Tailer Platform.

📦 Install the Tailer SDK package

To install the Tailer SDK package:

1. Run the following command in Command Prompt (Windows) or in a terminal (macOS/Linux):

   pip3 install tailer-sdk

2. When the installation is done, make sure it was successful by checking Tailer SDK version:

   tailer version

The Tailer SDK version and help should display.

At any time, you can now display the Tailer SDK help with the following command:

tailer help

⚙️ Configure Tailer SDK

When the installation is complete, you can proceed with the configuration of Tailer SDK:

1. To launch the configuration, run the following command:

   tailer config

2. You'll be prompted to answer a series of questions. Use the values listed in the table below. Directly press Enter if the suggested value is right.

   Question	Value
   Email address	Provide the email address you want to use to connect to Tailer SDK.
   Tailer Firebase API key	AIzaSyA_FFZmy9jZaRGVTNQuOK0mv4wDxWOKScQ
   Tailer Firebase authentication domain	fd-io-jarvis-platform.firebaseapp.com
   Tailer API Endpoint	For Europe: https://fd-io-jarvis-platform-api-proxy-a7nkzexitq-ew.a.run.app/ For the USA: https://fd-io-jarvis-platform-api-proxy-a7nkzexitq-uc.a.run.app/
   SSL verification	Specify if you want to enable SSL verification (y) or not (n). Default is y.
   Custom client SSL verification	Specify if you want to use custom client SSL verification (y) or not (n). Default is n.
   Full path to the SSL certificate	This question only displays if you answered y at the previous question. Provide your custom SSL certificate in PEM format (e.g. "C:\My Certificates\cert_XYZ.pem").
   Automatic deployment of STS and STT associated Cloud Functions	If you want to deploy Cloud Functions (CF) by default when you deploy a configuration, answer yes (y). You can choose to skip the CF deployment when you deploy a configuration using the --no-gcp-cd-deploy flag: tailer --no-gcp-cf-deploy deploy configuration my_conf.json. CF are a key componant for storage-to-storage (STS) and storage-to-tables (STT) operations. They listen Google Cloud Storage events and trigger runs. An operation can't be operative without it. But if the Cloud Function for a STS or STT is already deployed, then it's not mandatory to deploy it again. As this deployment can take a few minutes, you can skip this step if needed.
3. Once you've answered all the questions, close and restart your terminal for changes to be implemented.

4. Optionally, you can set the Tailer Public key for data encryption.
