# BRKDEV-1368
# Environment Setup
Follow these instructions to standup the demo and code environment.
1. Pre-reqs
* Python 2.7 and Python 3.6
* pip and virtualenv
1. If you haven't already, clone down this repository to your local workstation.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/BRKDEV-1368.git
```
1. Change into the code repository directory.
```bash
cd BRKDEV-1368
```
1. Setup Python Virtual Environment
```bash
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
1. Reserve an instance of [DevNet Sandbox - Multi-IOS Test Network](https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/RM/Diagram/Index/6b023525-4e7f-4755-81ae-05ac500d464a?diagramType=Topology). Pick **None** as the `Virl Simulation` before reserving. This will start the lab with NO topology loaded in VIRL, we'll be starting our own.
> It will take about 10 minutes for the lab to fully spin up.
1. Once your lab is ready, use the VPN credentials you recieve via email, or find in the **OUTPUT** box in the Sandbox portal to connect to your lab.
1. We will use the Python package `virlutils` to start the lab. If you don't have it installed already, go ahead and do so now.
> Note: This guide assumes a basic knowledge of Python and doesn't explicitly state to use a virtual environment, or a version of Python to use. Any recent version of Python and common working environment should work.
```bash
pip install virlutils
```
1. Verify that your lab and virlutils is working.
```bash
# Check what version of VIRL is loaded (verify you can talk to server)
virl version
# Check if any simulations are running
virl ls --all
```
Output
```
$virl version
virlutils Version: 0.8.8
VIRL Core Version: 0.10.37.32
$ virl ls --all
Running Simulations

```
* If any simulation other than `~jumphost` is running, stop it with the following command.
```bash
virl down --sim-name {SIMULATION_NAME}
```
1. Jump into the demo directory where the topology file is located.
```bash
cd demo
```
1. Start a simulation for this lab.
```bash
virl up
```
Output
```
Creating default environment from topology.virl
```
1. It will take several minutes for the simulation to fully start, you can monitor it with the following command - waiting for all devices to show `REACHABLE`
```bash
virl nodes
```
