At the command line:
$ easy_install snimpy
Or, if you have virtualenvwrapper installed:
$ mkvirtualenv snimpy
$ pip install snimpy
Snimpy requires libsmi, a library to access SMI MIB information. You need to install both the library and the development headers. If Snimpy complains to not find smi.h, you can help by specifying where this file is located by exporting the appropriate environment variable:
$ export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/include
On Debian/Ubuntu, you can install libsmi with:
$ sudo apt-get install libsmi2-dev
On RedHat and similar, you can use:
$ sudo yum install libsmi-devel
On OS X, if you are using homebrew, you can use:
$ brew install libsmi
On Debian and Ubuntu, Snimpy is also available as a package you can install with:
$ sudo apt-get install snimpy
