ACI Toolkit's OS and Python requirements

Niels — Thu, 11 May 2017 09:34:56 GMT

Hello,

I am preparing some ACI API testing scenario's and would like to make use of acitoolkit.

Now I would like to know;

- Does acitoolkit run with Python 3 or not?

- Which Linux platform and version is best to use for acitoolkit to run on.

Many thanks for the reply!

Hello, you need whatever linux distro, you can use ubuntu or centos

i thinks it use 2.7, but it doesn't care about the version, because you can use what's come in the machine

and start to build a scripts

I found this runs very well with centos 8 and python3.7

one problem was the diagram app section

one dependency is not available in the standard centos repos anymore so YUM fails for:

graphviz-devel.x86_64

to get this to work enable Centos PowerTools repo (via GUI software tools or CLI - disabled by default)

you can then install from this repository and the lab works nicely

sudo yum repo-pkgs PowerTools list | grep graphviz

sudo yum repo-pkgs PowerTools install graphviz-devel.x86_64
