Downloads the `Python 3.11.4` embedded binaries.\r\n2. Install `pip`.\r\n3. Modify the `python311._pth` to ensure the site-packages directory is considered.\r\n4. Initiate the installation of `netmiko` using the command `python.exe -m pip install netmiko`.\r\n\r\n## Script content\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\n# Define Variables\r\n$pythonUrl = \"https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.4/python-3.11.4-embed-amd64.zip\"\r\n$pythonEmbedZip = \"${PWD}\\python-3.11.4-embed-amd64.zip\"\r\n$pythonEmbedDir = \"${PWD}\\python-3.11.4-embed-amd64\"\r\n$pythonExec = \"${pythonEmbedDir}\\python.exe\"\r\n$pythonPthFilePath = \"${pythonEmbedDir}\\python311._pth\"\r\n\r\n$getPipUrl =

Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($pythonUrl, $pythonEmbedZip)\r\nExpand-Archive $pythonEmbedZip \r\n\r\n# Download Pip Installer Script\r\n(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($getPipUrl, $getPipFilePath)\r\n\r\n# Modify .pth file to include site-packages\r\n$pthContent = Get-Content -Path $pythonPthFilePath\r\n$newPthContent = $pthContent -replace \"#import site\", \"import site\"\r\nSet-Content -Path $pythonPthFilePath -Value $newPthContent -Force\r\n\r\n# Initiate Pip Installation\r\n\u0026 $pythonExec \"${getPipFilePath}\"\r\n\r\n# Begin netmiko Installation\r\n\u0026 $pythonExec -m pip install netmiko\r\n```\r\n\r\nOutput from the script execution:\r\n\r\n```text\r\nCollecting pip\r\n  Obtaining dependency information for pip from
