Error with installing PYKX
I am following the installation for PYKX. When I run “import pykx as kx” and then follow the prompts. After I provide the base64 code, I get:
PyKX license successfully installed to: {qlic / lic_type}
————————————————————————— PyKXException Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[17], line 1 —-> 1 import pykx as kx File c:\Users\ali\OneDrive – Onyx Commodities\Documents\Projects\kdbq environment\.venv\lib\site-packages\pykx\__init__.py:32 28 from . import reimporter 29 # Importing core initializes q if in licensed mode, and loads the q C API symbols.

How do I fix this?

The error ’embedq’ means you license does not have the needed flag to enable PyKX.
To get an Insights and PyKX enabled license go to: Download kdb Insights | KX

I see. Is this because I am on the free trial? How do I obtain the flag?

You likely downloaded from: https://kx.com/kdb-personal-edition-download/
But it does not have the Insights and PyKX features enabled.
You nee to get a license from: https://kx.com/kdb-insights-personal-edition-license-download/
