Setup
=====
Pre-requisites
--------------
* HCP running at least version 5.0 (tested up to version 9.1)
* A system-level admin account having at least the *Monitor* role
* MAPI enabled at system-level **and** within each Tenant for which
chargeback reports are to be collected
* If the chargeback reports are to be archived to an HCP Namespace: a *data
access user* having at least write access to that Namespace
Dependencies
------------
You need to have at least Python 3.4 installed to run **hcpcbc**.
It depends on the `hcpsdk `_ to
access HCP and `XlsxWriter `_ for chart
generation.
.. Tip::
It's suggested to use a virtual environment to fence the dependency
from your primary Python environment.
Installation

**Make sure you have Python 3.4 (or better) installed**
In case it's not installed, get it

2. in a virtual environment
**WINDOWS**
* Create a fresh virtual environment:
.. code-block:: text
:emphasize-lines: 1
C:\>\Python35\Tools\scripts\pyvenv.py c:\temp\_venv_hcpcbc
* Activate the virtual environment:
.. code-block:: text
:emphasize-lines: 1,3
C:\>cd temp
C:\temp>\temp\_venv_hcpcbc\Scripts\activate.bat
(_venv_hcpcbc) C:\temp>
