Installation

Install HFortix

The easiest way to get started is to install the complete suite:

pip install hfortix

This installs all HFortix components:

• hfortix-core - Core infrastructure

• hfortix-fortios - FortiOS/FortiGate API client

Individual Packages

You can also install packages individually:

FortiOS Client Only

pip install hfortix-fortios

This automatically installs hfortix-core as a dependency.

Core Infrastructure Only

pip install hfortix-core

Use this if you’re building custom Fortinet API clients.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher

• httpx with HTTP/2 support

• typing-extensions for enhanced type hints

Virtual Environment

We recommend using a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\\Scripts\\activate
pip install hfortix

Verify Installation

python -c "from hfortix_fortios import FortiOS; print('✅ HFortix installed successfully')"
