add-juniper-software 1.0.3

A CLI tool to install software on a remote JunOS machine.

Welcome to add_juniper_software!

Installation

This package is installed using pip. Pip should come pre-installed with all versions of Python for which this package is compatible. Nonetheless, if you wish to install pip, you can do so by downloading get-pip.py and running that python file (Windows/MacOS/Linux/BSD), or you can run the following command in terminal (Linux/BSD):

sudo apt install python3-pip

If you’re using brew (most likely for MacOS), you can install pip (along with the rest of Python 3) using brew:

brew install python3

Note: The creator of this software does not recommend the installation of python or pip using brew, and instead recommends that Python 3.7+ be installed using the installation candidates found on python.org, which include pip by default.

Using Pip to install from PyPi

Fetching this repository from PyPi is the recommended way to install this package. From your terminal, run the following command:

pip3 install add_juniper_software

And that’s it! Now you can go right ahead to the quick-start guide!

Install from GitHub

Not a big fan of pip? Well, you’re weird, but weird is OK! I’ve written a separate script to help make installation from GitHub releases as easy as possible. To start, download the installation script and run it:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EGuthrieWasTaken/add_juniper_software/main/source_install.py
python3 source_install.py

After completing, the script will have downloaded the latest tarball release and extracted it into the working directory. Now, all you have to do is switch into the newly-extracted directory and run the install command:

cd EGuthrieWasTaken-add_juniper_software-[commit_id]/
python3 setup.py install

If you get a permission denied error, you may have to re-run using sudo or equivalent. Congratulations, you just installed add_juniper_software from GitHub releases! Feel free to check out the quick-start guide!

Alternatively, you can download the latest code from GitHub to install from source. This is not recommended:

gh repo clone EGuthrieWasTaken/add_juniper_software
cd add_juniper_software/
python3 setup.py install

And with a little bit of luck, you should have just installed from source!
