Installation

Proprietary Software

The HV Explorer and HV SDK are proprietary tools developed internally by qtec, and are therefore only free to use in conjunction with cameras bought directly from qtec and/or HSI data acquired using cameras bought directly from qtec.

Requirements
  • Python ≥ 3.10
  • x86_64 or ARM64 (Linux & Windows)

We recommend installing into a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
  • Python package:
pip install qtec-hv-sdk --upgrade --index-url https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/75709056/packages/pypi/simple

Or for a specific version:

pip install qtec-hv-sdk==$VERSION --index-url https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/75709056/packages/pypi/simple
tip

Check the latest version number at the official HV SDK API docs.

Verify the installation:

from importlib.metadata import version

import qtec_hv_sdk as hs

print(version("qtec-hv-sdk"))
print("HV SDK import OK")
