The package is a .zip archive that can be downloaded by your administrator via the Package > Tools section of the Admin Console.

This archive can be uncompressed anywhere however its location should be set as a value in the SAT_INSTALL_PATH environment variable.

It will use the pip package system for the python version that is in the path. For more control, you can look at the batch file and edit it to make sure the right python installation is used. This requires python and pip to be in your PATH environment variable. For more details around installing the python API refer to Getting started
