This is the developer toolkit designed for use by any Agent-based check or integration repository.

• Python 3.7+ needs to be available on your system. Python 2.7 is optional.
• Docker to run the full test suite.

Using a virtual environment is recommended.

datadog-checks-dev is distributed on PyPI as a universal wheel and is available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports Python 2.7/3.7+ and PyPy.

$ pip install "datadog-checks-dev[cli]"

At this point there should be a working executable, ddev, in your PATH. The help flag shortcut -h is available globally.

Dev docs are hosted on readthedocs
