Installation

Full installation

If you want to fully install NAPALM you can do it by executing:

` pip install napalm `

That will install all the drivers currently available.

Partial Installation

If you want to install just a subset of the available modules you can just pick them as follows:

` pip install napalm-eos napalm-junos `

That will install only the eos and the junos drivers. If you want to remove or add a module later on you can just use pip to do it:

` pip uninstall napalm-junos pip install napalm-ios `

Check the [‘Supported Network Operating Systems’](http://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/index.html) section for more information about supported modules.

Upgrading

We plan to upgrade napalm as fast as possible. Adding new methods and bugfixes. To upgrade napalm it’s a simple as repeating the steps you performed while installing but adding the -U flag. For example:

` pip install napalm -U `

or:

` pip install napalm-eos napalm-junos -U `

Dependencies

Dependencies are supposed to be solved by pip and in most cases it works out of the box. However, on some systems some dependencies have to be installed using system tools. For example, the cryptography package that napalm-ios uses.

• napalm_ios

To to ensure all dependencies are met for these drivers, use the following commands:

Debian/Ubuntu:

` sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev `

Fedora and RHEL-derivatives:

` sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel `
