IntelliJ IDEA Setup Instructions

Prerequisites

These instructions assume you have already installed:

• Python 2.7:
• Trusted Analytics Platform Python REST Client and required dependencies.
• IntelliJ IDEA.

Verify the Python plugin is enabled in IntelliJ by choosing File ‣ Settings, searching for Python, and choosing Plugins from the pane on the left-hand side.

Trusted Analytics Platform should work with any version of IntelliJ IDEA but these instructions were tested with IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.3 Ultimate.
