How to install a Python library in Alteryx

[Istwineres]

Hi all, i'm trying to install a locally saved library into Alteryx but as far as I read I need admin access, is there a work around to this? Many thanks

Hi @Istwineres - Here is a link, but you still may need to start Designer with administrator rights if the installation folder does not allow write access to a standard account, like for an admin version for example: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/How-To-Use-Alteryx-installPackages-...

hey @Istwineres ,
If you're able to download on your machine, you can download the library you need to use, and them import it from path. Heres a source on that, if it helps:

No need to download I wrote the library, just want to import or install it in Alteryx

Yes, I'm following this article but I couldn't find a solution

hey @Istwineres 
So you can do the same thing, just import the library from the local path!


Hope this helps,

I'm not able to perform the import, I've the __init__.py and the launcher.py
