Nornir support on windows 10?

chiragvyas50 commented 6 years ago

Hi Kirk,

I read your article "Using Nornir for OS Upgrades (Part 1)" and it is really nice article. During the reading, i have couple of question. I would appreciate if you can help me with these queries I am using Windows 10 machine.

1) Where should i keep hosts.yaml and groups.yaml on windows path? 2) Nornir is supported fully on windows?

No Worries Kirk!

I found it, i got little bit confused. Good for now.

@chiragvyas50 Let me know if Nornir works on Windows (or not). I don't know if it has been tested or not.

chiragvyas50 commented 6 years ago

Yes Kirk, I tested it and it is working fine on Windows! I have my Python setup on Windows machine, Let me know whenever you want to do any testing on Windows side!

Yes, it would be interesting to know if Nornir 2.0 works on Windows or not. I have some details here on how to install Nornir 2.0.

Hi Kirk,

Sorry for late replay, i got stuck with some other stuff so coudn't reply this thread. Anyways, i did testing on my windows 10 machine for Nornir 2.0 and it is working perfectly fine.

Conclusion Nornir 2.0 & 1.1 works on Windows 10! I have installed git on my laptop before installing Nornir 2.0(Obviously i would need git on laptop...lol !!)

Here are the steps that i followed on Windows Machine

Uninstall Norni 1.0 (It is not necessary though, i just uninstalled because i wanted to see the fresh Nornir 2.0 copy)
Install Git for Windows
Followed your instruction about installing Nornir 2.0
i used "C:\Python37\Lib\site-packages" as home directory for Nornir 2.0 because all other libraries are installed at this location on my computer
Tested using Small Python Script to fetch "Show ip int brief" output on 3 devices
It is Working!!!

Below are the traces if someone need detail
