Quickstart VDK

Versatile Data Kit SDK is the go-to tool for developing and running Data Jobs locally.

If you are starting, Quickstart VDK is a good distribution for getting started with VDK.

Prerequisites

Versatile Data Kit CLI requires Python 3.7+. If you're new to Python, we recommend Anaconda.

It's recommended to have the latest version of pip :

pip install -U pip setuptools wheel

Installation

pip install quickstart-vdk

This will install VDK with support for common databases and job lifecycle management operations.

To upgrade an already existing installation of quickstart-vdk, use:

pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager quickstart-vdk

See help to see what you can do:

vdk --help
