# Basic NetMiko
Getting started with Netmiko using DevNet always on Sandbox.
## Netmiko
Multi-vendor library to simplify Paramiko SSH connections to network devices. In this example we use the DevNet always on sandbox for IOS XR and IOS XE. For more info on Netmiko, see the
[Netmiko GitHub page](https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko).
- [IOS XR Programmability Sandbox](https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/RM/Diagram/Index/e83cfd31-ade3-4e15-91d6-3118b867a0dd?diagramType=Topology) - no reservation required for this sandbox.
- [IOS XE on CSR Sandbox](https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/RM/Diagram/Index/38ded1f0-16ce-43f2-8df5-43a40ebf752e?diagramType=Topology) - no reservation required for this sandbox.
## Installation | Python Environment Setup
It is recommended that this code be used with Python 3.6. It is highly recommended to leverage Python Virtual Environments (venv).
Follow these steps to create and activate a venv.
```
# OS X or Linux
virtualenv venv --python=python3.6
source venv/bin/activate
```
To install Netmiko, simply use pip and install the requirements file
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Netmiko has the following requirements (which pip will install for you)
- Paramiko >= 2.4.3
- scp >= 0.13.2
- pyyaml
- pyserial
- textfsm
## About me
Network Automation Developer Advocate for Cisco DevNet.
I'm like Hugh Hefner... minus the mansion, the exotic cars, the girls, the magazine and the money. So basically, I have a robe.
