The code listings in this book can be found under chapter13 directory at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Enterprise-Application-Development-with-Python.

The code samples can be cloned by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Enterprise-Application-Development-with-Python

Additionally, for the code to execute successfully, some additional software will be required:

• Docker: Docker is required as a dependency to run the OpenWhisk software platform for the deployment of the serverless applications. To install docker on your platform, please take a look at https://docs.docker.com/install/.

• Apache OpenWhisk: Apache OpenWhisk provides an open source platform for running serverless applications. For our examples, we are going to use the OpenWhisk project to provide us with a mechanism for running the code examples. To set up OpenWhisk on the system, please perform the following steps:

1. Clone the Project installer from GitHub by executing the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-OpenWhisk-devtools.git

2. cd into the docker-compose directory inside the project by running the following command:

    cd incubator-OpenWhisk-devtools/docker-compose

3. Execute the following command:

    make quick-start

These steps will help you get the OpenWhisk project set up and running along with the required tools to interact with the OpenWhisk.
