Installation of Dlubal API – Install Dlubal API Package

I want to use the Dlubal API and am already failing during the setup according to the instructions (https://apidocs.dlubal.com/installation_python.html#installation-python). The step "Install the Dlubal API Package" (pip install dlubal.api) works so far, but at the following step "Verify the installation" (pip list | grep dlubal), the following error message appears, so the subsequent steps do not work either, please help.

grep: The term "grep" is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct, and try again.

pip list | grep dlubal

Hello Alex,
the command pip list | grep dlubal can be used, for example, in Git Bash. Since you probably use Visual Studio Code, you can instead run the following command:

pip list | Select-String "dlubal"  

This option will be included in the documentation in the future.

In another post, you still had problems creating the virtual environment. I assume you have solved this problem yourself by now, right? :)

Best regards,

Hello Rebecca,
