OK. I read installing paramiko on Windows.

All mentioned methods simply do not work.

Authors have different environments with different components/libraries installed. Or may be they don't test their solutions before posting an answer :)

I removed all python versions and libs from my machine (Windows 8 x64) and tried to install python and paramiko from scratch.

Method number 1 (FAILED)

  1. Install python-2.7.3.amd64.msi
  2. Install pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  3. Download https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/archive/master.zip, unpack it.
  4. Run setup.py install
  5. Go to IDLE, run import paramiko.

Result:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> import paramiko File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 65, in <module> from transport import SecurityOptions, Transport File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\paramiko\transport.py", line 45, in <module> from paramiko.ecdsakey import ECDSAKey File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\paramiko\ecdsakey.py", line 24, in <module> from ecdsa import SigningKey, VerifyingKey, der, curves ImportError: No module named ecdsa

Method number 2 (FAILED)

  1. Install python-2.7.3.amd64.msi
  2. Install setuptools-1.4.2.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  3. Install pip-1.4.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  4. pip install paramiko
  5. Go to IDLE, run import paramiko.

Result:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> import paramiko File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 64, in <module> from transport import SecurityOptions, Transport File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\paramiko\transport.py", line 33, in <module> from paramiko import util File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\paramiko\util.py", line 33, in <module> from paramiko.common import * File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\paramiko\common.py", line 98, in <module> from Crypto import Random ImportError: No module named Crypto

Method number 3 (SUCCESS)

  1. Install python-2.7.3.amd64.msi
  2. Install pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  3. Install setuptools-1.4.2.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  4. Install pip-1.4.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  5. Run pip install ecdsa
  6. Download and extract https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/archive/master.zip
  7. Run setup.py install
  8. Open IDLE, run import paramiko

Result: no errors

Please, help me to find step-by-step algorithm for installing python and paramiko on clean windows 8 machine. Thanx.

UPD: Solution has been found.

For installing paramiko, Visual Basic Compiler is needed.

First download it from Microcsoft: Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7

Open the paramiko directory and run python setup.py install . And it will download dependencies from internet; especially pycrypto and installation will be successful.

Your link is dead.
@user2284570, The link is probably updated, as it's not dead anymore.

You're missing the pycrypto dependency. pip is the easiest way:

pip install pycrypto pip install paramiko

Alternatively, you can install from source, with:

easy_install ./

(See: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko)

1) it won't be that easy on win. 2) he did install it with pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py2.7.exe (my guess is that is not correct one, but can't check now)
pycrypto is installed with pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
Clearly OPs installation cannot find pycrypto, so something's messed up. Installing both via pip is the easiest way to make sure both are installed to the same place properly. Yes, even on windows.
@YuvalAdam PyCrypto is a C-extension, it's not so obvious task to compile it for a beginner stackoverflow.com/questions/11405549/…
Worked for me on Win10 using python 3.6.0

For windows users:

  1. Install Python 2.7.11

  2. Download and install pycrypto win-amd64-py2.7.exe

  3. Now open a command prompt. If you have installed python at the following location:

    c:\Python27 then change directory and go to Scripts directory.

  4. Now type the following command:

    pip install paramiko

enter image description here

That's it, you have successfully installed Paramiko.

Simple elegant solution. I had to change the pycrypto package to fit my currently installed python version (3.4). Thanks!

  • For the first sequence you need to install 'ecdsa' with pip because paramiko compilation does not automatically resolve its dependencies (as your working solution)

  • The second failed, as stated already, because you did not install pycrypto before running pip install paramiko. I would recommend to use this option rather than installing from source to enable easier upgrade path using pip. Also pip is the easiest to install using their standalone install script: http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html

Also, I faced with the following errors like:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -IC:\Python27-x86\include -IC:\Python27-x86\PC /Tcbuild\temp.win32-2.7\Release_openssl.c /Fobuild\temp.win32-2.7\Release\build\temp.win32-2.7\Release_openssl.obj

_openssl.c

build\temp.win32-2.7\Release_openssl.c(423) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/opensslv.h': No such file or directory

error: command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

missed this file: 'openssl/opensslv.h'

it will be happens because while installation paramiko/cryptography/pyOpenSSL packages, they all needed distribution package of OpenSSL-Win32 with *.lib and headers files like: openssl\opensslv.h

so, after installation appropriate OpenSSL app. version, took from here: http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/Win32OpenSSL/

and copied all headers from C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include\openssl*.* to C:\Pyhton27\inclide*.*

and copied all libs from C:\OpenSSL-win32\lib to C:\Python27\Lib*.*

paramiko package was installed successfully. ! I hope it will be helpful somebody.:) good luck:)
