Installing the AP Python Protector

Note: ARM64 support is available only from version 10.0.1 and requires the separate build ApplicationProtector_Linux-ALL-64_arm64_PY-3.13_<version>.tgz.

Extracting the Setup Scripts and Package

To set up the AP Python on the Linux platform:

1. Download the ApplicationProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_PY-3.11_\<version>.tgz file to any location on the machine where you want to install the protector.
2. Extract the AP Python installation package using the following command.
   

   tar –xvf ApplicationProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_PY-3.11_<version>.tgz
   

   The following setup files are extracted:
   • ApplicationProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_PY-3.11_\<version>.tgz
   • signatures/ApplicationProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_PY-3.11_\<version>.sig
3. Verify the digital signature of the signed AP Python build.
   For more information about verifying the signed AP Python build, refer to Verification of Signed Protector Build.
4. Extract the AP Python installation package again using the following command.
   

   tar –xvf ApplicationProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_PY-3.11_<version>.tgz
   

   The following setup files are extracted:
   • LogforwarderSetup_Linux_x64_\<version>.sh
   • RPAgentSetup_Linux_x64_\<version>.sh
   • APPythonSetup_Linux_x64_\<version>.sh
   • APPythonDevSetup_Linux_x64_\<version>.tar

Installing Application Protector Python on Linux

The steps to install the AP Python on a Linux platform using the Linux installer or through the Silent mode of installation, are describes in this section.

Using Linux Installer

To install the AP Python on the Linux platform in a production environment using the Linux installer:

1. Run the AP Python installer using the following command.

   ./APPythonSetup_Linux_x64_<version>.sh
   

   The prompt to continue the installation appears.

   *****************************************************
   Welcome to the AP Python SDK Setup Wizard
   *****************************************************
   
   This will install AP Python SDK on your computer.
   
   Do you want to continue? [yes or no]
   

2. If you want to continue with the installation of the AP Python SDK, then type yes else type no.

   If you type yes, then the prompt to enter the installation directory appears.

   Please enter installation directory
   [/opt/protegrity]:
   

   If you type no, then the installation of the AP Python aborts.

The AP Python is extracted in /opt/protegrity/sdk/python directory on a Linux platform.

3. Navigate to the /opt/protegrity/sdk/python/lib/ directory.

4. Run the following command to run the pip installer package.

   pip install appython-<version>.tar.gz
   

5. Verify that the following directories are created in the AP Python site-packages installation directory:
   

   • appython
   • mocks
   • pypepprovider

6. Perform the following steps to access the AP Python Pydoc, which contains the API documentation.

   • Run the following command to extract the AP Python setup file:

     tar –xvf /opt/protegrity/sdk/python/lib/<appython file.tar.gz>
     

     The appython-temp directory is extracted.
   • Navigate to the appython-temp\docs\ directory.
   • Open the index.html file in a browser to access the AP Python Pydoc.

   If you are setting up the AP Python in a virtual Linux environment, then convert the appython-temp\docs directory to a zip file and download it locally. You can then open the index.html file in a browser to access the AP Python Pydoc.

Using Silent Mode

You can also execute the AP Python installer without any manual intervention, which is also known as the Silent mode of installation. The following parameter must be provided to execute the installer in the Silent mode.

./APPythonSetup_Linux_x64_<version>.sh [-dir <directory>]
