Dell EMC DataIQ Developer Guide

Create a project directory

Before you can develop a new plugin, set up a standard Python project folder.

1. Download the DataIQ Developer Guide Sample Files at https://github.com/dell/dataiq-plugin-example . Use the samples in the /examples/legacy-example folder as a comparison when creating your own Flask app.
2. To make a fresh project, create a project directory with a Python 3.6+ virtual environment and a hoststorage directory.

   ~ $ mkdir myplugin
   ~ $ cd myplugin
   myplugin $ python3 -m venv venv
   myplugin $ source venv/bin/activate

3. Inside the virtual environment, install the dataiq-plugin library with pip.

   (venv) myplugin $ pip install <dev_guide>/dataiq_plugin*
   (venv) myplugin $ mkdir hoststorage
