What are dependency packages?

A dependency package contains the necessary Python modules for a bundle to function.
These packages are essential for the client code in different addons within a bundle.

Get official dependency package

When updating Pipeline to the latest Release on your server, you’ll receive an updated dependency package compatible with the official AYON addons.

Create and update a dependency package

For custom addons with a customized pyproject.toml, you’ll likely need to create your custom dependency package.

Luckily, there’s a tool you can use to resolve and download dependencies, create a dependency package, upload it to your AYON server, and add it to your bundle.

  1. Clone ayon-dependencies-tool
  2. Add your .env file to the ayon-dependencies-tool directory. Required environment variables:
    AYON_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:5000/
AYON_API_KEY=<your-ayon-api-key>
  3. Run the following commands. Find more information in the repo’s README on GitHub:
    cd ayon-dependencies-tool
.\start.ps1 set-env
.\start.ps1 install
.\start.ps1 create -b <your_bundle_name>
