Installation
Collection Installation
Ansible galaxy hosts all stable versions of this collection. Installation from ansible-galaxy is the most convenient approach for consuming arista.dmf content
ansible-galaxy collection install arista.dmf
Python Requirements Installation
In a shell, run the following commands after installing the collection from ansible-galaxy:
export ARISTA_DMF_DIR=$(ansible-galaxy collection list arista.dmf --format yaml | head -1 | cut -d: -f1)
pip3 install -r ${ARISTA_DMF_DIR}/arista/dmf/requirements.txt
