# Getting Started
This section shows how to use ANTA with basic configuration. All examples are based on Arista Test Drive (ATD) topology you can access by reaching out to your preferred SE.
## Installation
The easiest way to install ANTA package is to run Python (`>=3.9`) and its pip package to install:
```bash
pip install anta[cli]
```
For more details about how to install package, please see the [requirements and installation](./requirements-and-installation.md) section.
## Configure Arista EOS devices
For ANTA to be able to connect to your target devices, you need to configure your management interface
```eos
vrf instance MGMT
!
interface Management0
description oob_management
vrf MGMT
ip address 192.168.0.10/24
!
```
Then, configure access to eAPI:
```eos
!
management api http-commands
protocol https port 443
no shutdown
vrf MGMT
no shutdown
!
!
```
## Create your inventory
ANTA uses an inventory to list the target devices for the tests. You can create a file manually with this format:
```yaml
anta_inventory:
hosts:
- host: 192.168.0.10
name: spine01
tags: ['fabric', 'spine']
- host: 192.168.0.11
name: spine02
tags: ['fabric', 'spine']
- host: 192.168.0.12
name: leaf01
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
- host: 192.168.0.13
name: leaf02
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
- host: 192.168.0.14
name: leaf03
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
- host: 192.168.0.15
name: leaf04
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
```
> You can read more details about how to build your inventory [here](usage-inventory-catalog.md#create-an-inventory-file)
## Test Catalog
To test your network, ANTA relies on a test catalog to list all the tests to run against your inventory. A test catalog references python functions into a yaml file.
The structure to follow is like:
```yaml
<anta_tests_submodule>:
- <anta_tests_submodule function name>:
<test function option>:
<test function option value>
```
> You can read more details about how to build your catalog [here](usage-inventory-catalog.md#test-catalog)
Here is an example for basic tests:
```yaml
# Load anta.tests.software
anta.tests.software:
- VerifyEOSVersion: # Verifies the device is running one of the allowed EOS version.
versions: # List of allowed EOS versions.
- 4.25.4M
- 4.26.1F
- '4.28.3M-28837868.4283M (engineering build)'
- VerifyTerminAttrVersion:
versions:
- v1.22.1
anta.tests.system:
- VerifyUptime: # Verifies the device uptime is higher than a value.
minimum: 1
- VerifyNTP:
- VerifySyslog:
anta.tests.mlag:
- VerifyMlagStatus:
- VerifyMlagInterfaces:
- VerifyMlagConfigSanity:
anta.tests.configuration:
- VerifyZeroTouch: # Verifies ZeroTouch is disabled.
- VerifyRunningConfigDiffs:
```
## Test your network
### CLI
ANTA comes with a generic CLI entrypoint to run tests in your network. It requires an inventory file as well as a test catalog.
This entrypoint has multiple options to manage test coverage and reporting.
```bash
--8<-- "anta_help.txt"
```
```bash
--8<-- "anta_nrfu_help.txt"
```
To run the NRFU, you need to select an output format amongst ["json", "table", "text", "tpl-report"]. For a first usage, `table` is recommended. By default all test results for all devices are rendered but it can be changed to a report per test case or per host
#### Default report using table
```bash
anta nrfu \
--username tom \
--password arista123 \
--enable \
--enable-password t \
--inventory .personal/inventory_atd.yml \
--catalog .personal/tests-bases.yml \
table --tags leaf
