You can check if the SSH library installed successfully with:
python -c "import SSHLibrary"
If you find you have problems with the SSH library, reinstalling the support libraries for the SSH library through yum might help:
sudo pip uninstall pycrypto
sudo yum erase python-crypto
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum install python-crypto
sudo yum install python-paramiko
Note that selenium needs a browser to drive, so you'll need to install a graphical GUI, you can do this by:

==Making it test SMEServer==
== SME Server Test Automation on GitHub ==
The git repository with an intial set of tests for SME Server is now on GitHub
here:
https://github.com/MarcoHess/smeserver-test-automation
https://franka.through-ip.com/git/?p=sme-test-automation.git;a=summary
===Loading and Trying it===
===Loading and Trying it===
The best way to try these tests is to clone the repository from GitHub with:
git clone https://github.com/MarcoHess/smeserver-test-automation.git
Alternatively you can also download a ZIP file with the whole repository with this link:
Alternatively clone the git repository with:

==Setting up the tests==
===Setting up the tests===
The "resource.robot" file in the top "sme" directory contains a number of variables and macros that are used by the test scripts.
The "resource.robot" file in the top "sme" directory contains a number of variables and macros that are used by the test scripts.
The tests assume that the ${SERVER NAME}.${SERVER DOMAIN} resolve to the correct IP of that server. I typically setup entries for test servers with a host name entry on my main server.

===Contributing Tests===
With the main test repository on GitHub it is very easy to 'fork' a copy of the repository,
start adding, fixing or modifying tests and then send a 'Pull Request' to merge your updates
into the main repository.
Here is an outline of that process: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo
== Additional Tools ==
There are a number of tools that are useful in developing tests. This section lists a number of these:
=== RIDE IDE ===
The Robotframework has its own IDE called RIDE. It is particularly useful for running individual tests
during development. More info here https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/wiki . It be easily installed with:
pip install robotframework-ride
pip install robotframework-ride
ride.py sme
ride.py sme
=== XPath Checker Firefox Plugin ===
It sometimes is quite tricky to locate the right element in a web page to check or click. One method
that selenium supports is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPath XPaths].
In order to develop these, I found the Firefox plugin 'XPaths Checker' particularly useful.
