Attempting to running Python Scripts from Github

gjunhao96

Just for context, im a complete beginner in git. Im trying to run a simple python script (.py) file from git using the Alteryx Python tool. However, Im an error message is returned which im not able to solve. Below are more details of my issue. Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

For testing, the python script (https://github.com/gjunhao/AlteryxTest) is made out of a single line: print("hello git") 

Within the Alteryx Python tool (running as administrator), i have the code:

from ayx import Alteryx Alteryx.installPackages(package="git+https://github.com/gjunhao/AlteryxTest.git")

(with reference to https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Python-Tool-How-to-install-additional-package-from-github/td-p/302548)

When i run the workflow, the following error is returned:

You can try to use command line to clone the Alteryx Test Folder/Package into the following location:

C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_vEnv\Lib\site-packages

Once you have done that, you should be able to import the needed package by using import AlteryxTest
