python setup.py sdist
pip install .

Next, install dependencies that the tests directory needs.

cd tests/
pip install -r requirements.txt

**note when checking out different branches, you will have to re-install the auto-generated-sdk directory before running tests again

cd auto-generated-sdk/
pip list # to view what version of fds.analyticsapi.engines is installed
pip uninstall fds.analyticsapi.engines <version>
