# ANTA Requirements ## Python version Python 3 (`>=3.8`) is required: ```bash python --version Python 3.9.9 ``` ## Install ANTA package This installation will deploy tests collection, scripts and all their Python requirements. The ANTA package and the cli require some packages that are not part of the Python standard library. They are indicated in the [pyproject.toml](https://github.com/arista-netdevops-community/anta/blob/main/pyproject.toml) file, under dependencies. ### Install from Pypi server ```bash pip install anta ``` ### Install ANTA from github ```bash pip install git+https://github.com/arista-netdevops-community/anta.git # You can even specify the branch, tag or commit: pip install git+https://github.com/arista-netdevops-community/anta.git@ pip install git+https://github.com/arista-netdevops-community/anta.git@ pip install git+https://github.com/arista-netdevops-community/anta.git@ ``` ### Check installation After installing ANTA, verify the installation with the following commands: ```bash # Check ANTA has been installed in your python path pip list | grep anta # Check scripts are in your $PATH # Path may differ but it means CLI is in your path which anta /home/tom/.pyenv/shims/anta ``` !!! warning Before running the `anta --version` command, please be aware that some users have reported issues related to the `urllib3` package. If you encounter an error at this step, please refer to our [FAQ](faq.md) page for guidance on resolving it. ```bash # Check ANTA version anta --version anta, version v0.13.0 ``` ## EOS Requirements To get ANTA working, the targetted Arista EOS devices must have the following configuration (assuming you connect to the device using Management interface in MGMT VRF): ```eos configure ! vrf instance MGMT ! interface Management1 description oob_management vrf MGMT ip address 10.73.1.105/24 ! end ``` Enable eAPI on the MGMT vrf: ```eos configure ! management api http-commands protocol https port 443 no shutdown vrf MGMT no shutdown ! end ``` Now the swicth accepts on port 443 in the MGMT VRF HTTPS requests containing a list of CLI commands. Run these EOS commands to verify: ```eos show management http-server show management api http-commands ```
