Package and Install

Audience: operator authors and platform teams
Status: Preview

Project-scoped operator installation is the reproducibility boundary for external operators.

Install through the public project surface

from ophiolite_sdk import Project

project = Project.open("demo-project")
result = project.install_operator_package("python-operator/operator-package.json")
print(result.package_name)
print(result.python_environment_path)

For platform-introspection and operator-authoring helpers, use the advanced namespaces rather than the main top-level package.

What installation does

• copies the operator manifest into the project store
• copies the entrypoint and standard Python support files when present
• creates a package-local .venv for Python runtime isolation
• updates the project operator lock

Why this matters

Installation is what keeps external code from becoming an untracked side effect.
