Get the SDV Installer

[New!] Use the SDV Installer: Starting from August 2025, we recommend using the SDV Installer to verify technical requirements, check your credentials, and easily download all the packages you have access to.

Start by installing the SDV Installer:

pip install sdv-installer --upgrade

If you have previously installed the SDV Installer, this same command will also update it.

Step 1: Install all packages

The SDV Installer is able to look up all the packages that you have access to, and install each one. Run the command below in your terminal console:

sdv-installer install --upgrade

This same command will also update any existing versions of SDV Enterprise to the latest version.

You will be prompted for some input.

• When prompted for a username, enter your email

• When prompted for a license key, enter your license key. Please be sure you copy-paste exactly as provided by DataCebo.

If this authenticates successfully, the installer will automatically install all the packages you have access to — SDV Enterprise, as well as any additional bundles you have purchased.
