YDK installation on offline server

[sosul]

Following "How to install" part in http://ydk.cisco.com/py/docs/getting_started.html#how-to-install, I'm blocked because "pip install ydk-models-something" does not work properly my offline CentOS7 server.

I've managed to install libydk-0.6.2-1.x86_64.rpm by downloading the file and dependencies.

1. Are there downloadable package files for ydk-models?

2. If not, maybe I have to follow instructions in http://ydk.cisco.com/py/docs/getting_started.html#installing-from-source part, but I have no idea which source it is talking about.

The following commands should put you at the starting point of installing from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ydk-py.git
$ cd ydk-py

Thank you for your answer. I've downloaded the git repository from another PC and moved it to the server.

After that I could find folders like core, ietf, openconfig, etc.

However, after running "python setup.py sdist", I still have problems with "pip install dist/ydk*.gz" command since the server has no internet connection.

[tsdn@tsdn-nfvo core]$ pip install dist/ydk*.gz

Processing ./dist/ydk-0.6.2.tar.gz

  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pybind11>=2.1.1 (from ydk==0.6.2) (from versions: )

No matching distribution found for pybind11>=2.1.1 (from ydk==0.6.2)

Tried to install pybind11 manually but could not find version >= 2.1.1 as seen in https://pkgs.org/download/pybind11

Since you're offline, you can't rely on the packaging system taking care of dependencies automatically.  You need to download and install pybind11 manually.

You can get the package from:

https://pypi.org/project/pybind11/#files

The latest release should do the trick.  That's what I got on my system:

$ pip list | grep pybind
pybind11                2.2.1       
$

After satisfying requirement for pybind11, installation is all smooth even in offline condition. Thank you.
