In those cases where you have an OSM already installed in a remote server, you might still want to operate it from your local computer using the OSM client. The OSM client provides you a client library and a command-line tool to operate OSM..

    1. Installation

OSM client comes bundled with OSM installation, so if you successfully installed OSM, you already have it.

In addition, you can also install it in a different computer. In order to install OSM client, you will need a Linux machine and follow this procedure.

```bash wget -qO - https://osm-download.etsi.org/repository/osm/debian/ReleaseSIX/OSM%20ETSI%20Release%20Key.gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo add-apt-repository -y "deb [arch=amd64] https://osm-download.etsi.org/repository/osm/debian/ReleaseSIX stable devops osmclient" sudo apt-get update sudo -H pip install python-magic sudo apt-get install python-osmclient ```

    1. Usage (client commands)

Once installed, type “osm” to see a list of commands. If installed in a host different from where OSM is running, at minimum you will need to specify the OSM host, either via an environment variable or via the osm command line (see “osm --help” for info).

```bash export OSM_HOSTNAME="127.0.0.1" ```

    • Usage:**

```bash osm [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... ```

    • Options:**

```bash

 --hostname TEXT  hostname of server.  Also can set OSM_HOSTNAME in
                  environment
 --user TEXT      user (defaults to admin). Also can set OSM_USER in
                  environment
 --password TEXT  password (defaults to admin). Also can set OSM_PASSWORD in
                  environment
 --project TEXT   project (defaults to admin). Also can set OSM_PROJECT in
                  environment
 --help           Show this message and exit.

```

    1. Enable autocompletion

You can enable autocompletion in OSM client by creating a file osm-complete.sh in the following way:

```bash mkdir -p $HOME/.bash_completion.d _OSM_COMPLETE=source osm > $HOME/.bash_completion.d/osm-complete.sh ```

Then you can add the following to your $HOME/.bashrc file: ```bash . .bash_completion.d/osm-complete.sh ```

    1. Other installation methods
      1. Installing from git repo

```bash

  1. Ubuntu pre-requirements

sudo apt install python-pip libcurl4-gnutls-dev libgnutls-dev

  1. CentOS pre-requirements
  2. sudo yum install python-pip libcurl-devel gnutls-devel

sudo -H pip install python-magic

  1. Install OSM client from the git repo.
  2. You can install the latest client from master branch in this way:

sudo -H pip install git+https://osm.etsi.org/gerrit/osm/osmclient

  1. You could also install a specific tag/version in this way

sudo -H pip install git+https://osm.etsi.org/gerrit/osm/osmclient@v6.0.1 ```

      1. Installing from cloned repo (for developers)

```bash

  1. Ubuntu pre-requirements

sudo apt install python-pip libcurl4-gnutls-dev libgnutls-dev

  1. Make sure that
  2. sudo yum install python-pip libcurl-devel gnutls-devel

sudo -H pip install python-magic

  1. Clone the osmclient repo and install OSM client from the git repo.

git clone https://osm.etsi.org/gerrit/osm/osmclient sudo -H pip install osmclient ```

    1. Using osmclient as a library to interact with OSM

Assuming that you have installed python-osmclient package, it's pretty simple to write some Python code to interact with OSM.

      1. Simple Python code to get the list of NS packages

```python from osmclient import client from osmclient.common.exceptions import ClientException hostname = "127.0.0.1" myclient = client.Client(host=hostname, sol005=True) resp = myclient.nsd.list() print yaml.safe_dump(resp) ```

      1. Simple Python code to get the list of VNF packages from a specific user and project

The code will print for each package a pretty table, then the full details in yaml ```python from osmclient import client from osmclient.common.exceptions import ClientException import yaml from prettytable import PrettyTable hostname = "127.0.0.1" user = admin password = admin project = admin kwargs = {} if user is not None:

   kwargs['user']=user

if password is not None:

   kwargs['password']=password

if project is not None:

  kwargs['project']=project

myclient = client.Client(host=hostname, sol005=True, **kwargs) resp = myclient.vnfd.list() print yaml.safe_dump(resp) ```
