Installing Astralis with Pip

Prerequisites

See the project requirements to get started.

Run python --version in a new shell to confirm that Python is ready to use:

Example output:

% python --version
Python 3.9.13

Once you are sure Python is running, you are ready to install Astralis!

Installation

The Astralis Python package is published on PyPI (opens in a new tab) and maintained by the Astralis team.

To install Astralis, run:

pip install ethyca-fides

Initialize Astralis

Initializing the project will create a configuration file with default values, and generate a directory to house your Astralis resources.

Initialize Fides

fides init

Expected Output

Running the webserver

In a shell, run the following command:

fides webserver

With the Astralis webserver running, the hosted UI is available at http://{server_url}/ (e.g. http://localhost:8080/).
