Downloading the JUNOS Module and Sample Scripts

To download, uncompress, and unpack the compressed tar-format file that contains the JUNOS module and sample scripts, perform the following steps:

1. Access the JUNOScript API download page on the Juniper Networks Web site at https://www.juniper.net/support/xml/junoscript/index.html.
2. Click the link for the appropriate software release.
3. To download the JUNOScript API Perl client package and the prerequisites package, click the links for the packages that support the appropriate access protocols. Customers in the United States and Canada can download the package that supports all access protocols (the domestic package). Customers in other countries can download the package that supports only the clear-text and Telnet protocols (the export package).

   Note: It is assumed that the machine on which you store and run the Perl client software is a regular computer instead of a Juniper Networks routing platform.

4. Optionally, download the packages containing document type definitions (DTDs) and the XML Schema language representation of the JUNOS configuration hierarchy from https://www.juniper.net/support/xml/junos-xml/archive.html.
5. Change to the directory where you want to create a subdirectory that contains the JUNOS Perl module and sample scripts:

   % cd perl-parent-directory

6. Issue the following command to uncompress and unpack the package downloaded in Step item:
   • On FreeBSD and Linux systems:

     % tar zxf junoscript-perl-release-type.tar.gz

   • On Solaris systems:

     % gzip -dc junoscript-perl-release-type.tar.gz | tar xf

     release is the release code (such as 9.4R1.1) and type is domestic or export. The command creates a directory called junoscript-perl-release type and writes the contents of the package to it.

7. See the junoscript-perl-release-type/README file for instructions on unpacking and installing the Perl prerequisite modules, creating a Makefile, and installing and testing the JUNOS module.
