To use samples clone sample github repository https://github.com/guntis-liepins/nutanix-samples.git

git clone https://github.com/guntis-liepins/nutanix-samples.git

Change to this directory and then create and activate python virtualenv in venv folder (naming it venv can help Visual Studio code to work with virtualenv)

ctrlz@vulcan:~/Projects/Python$ cd nutanixapi-samples
ctrlz@vulcan:~/Projects/Python/nutanixapi-samples$ python3 -m venv venv
ctrlz@vulcan:~/Projects/Python/nutanixapi-samples$ source venv/bin/activate

First install wheel to be able to install nutanix packages from source. This is due unsolved bug - wheel installs after nutanixapi so nutanixapi install will fail. Need to be done only once when new virtualenv is created.

pip install wheel

There are requirements.txt file which contain nutanixapi repository as requiement. Install nutanixapi using this file.

pip install wheel
pip install -r requirements.txt

In nutanix-samples repo are directory cloud-init-samples which contain cloud-init-templates for different types of networks. copy directory to templates

cp -r cloud-init-samples templates

Then REPLACE all marked data with own values in cloud init files

Scripts: 1. nutanix_api-list.py - You can test functionality of nutanixapi by running script nutanix_api-list.py and find out UUIDs of objects 2. create_vm.py - example how to create VM 3. power.py - example how to power on and off VM

Before running samples scripts set parameters in script files
