INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT

vbSDK is written in Python and needs the following:

    python 2.6/2.7
    python packages: requests, json

While we expect the system to work on any machine/OS that supports the above, we wish to add the following caveat.

CAUTION: vbSDK been tested only on Ubuntu Linux. 
Use on other environments depends on the portability of 
python packages used.

INSTALL vbSDK

vbSDK does not require any specific installation. Just clone the repository or download the code in a directory, and you are ready to use the CLI rightaway. For ease of access though, you may also wish to setup the PATH variable to point to the python installation directory and the virustbattle-sdk directory.

For integrating with your own code the effort is just slightly more, and will be addressed in another document.

REGISTERED USER

  1. Update vbSDK 
    git pull http://bitbucket.org/srl/virusbattle-sdk.git

NEW USER

  1. Download the git repo from bitbucket.org

    cd virusbattle-sdk
python vbregister.py  --email="youremail@domain.com" --name="Firsname Lastname"

  3. Wait to receive the key by email.
