Hi Scott,

[quote user=""] Was this a mistake or unnecessary? [/quote]

This was a necessary step. The SDK’s bundled Python is not directly exposed for pip installs outside the managed environment.

The SBOM tool uses Scancode-Toolkit, which can have platform-specific requirements. The error about 'platform_machine == "x86_64"' suggests a mismatch between your Python environment and the expected platform. This is likely why you were getting errors after manually installing the scancode-toolkit. Make sure you are using a 64-bit version of Python on a 64-bit Windows system.

If these warnings are not blocking your workflow, you may continue using it..

Regards,

Swathy

Update 2: I reverted to an earlier version of Python (v3.12 instead of v3.13) and that let me install the scancode-toolkit manually.

Update: I've tried installing the latest version of the scancode-toolkit, instead of the version 31.2.6 specified in the requirements file, but I end up with the same errors.
