C:\Users\local_user\Documents\Cisco\Cisco Process Orchestrator\Extracted Data\BWA Scripts

Note Both the install.sh and cisco_teo_python.tar files need to be copied to the server prior to running the install.sh command.


The script files are copied to the $DIR_INSTANCE\exe\python_support directory.
