The easiest way is the automated installation using the OSM installer. The bare-metal installation requires a freshly installed **Ubuntu 18.04 LTS** and is done by an Ansible playbook. Another option is to use a nested Docker environment to run the emulator inside a Docker container. -Despite of this son-emu has the following dependencies: +### Automated OSM installation -* [argparse](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/argparse) >= 1.4.0 (Python software foundation License) -* [docker-py](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/docker-py) == 1.7.1(Apache 2.0) -* [Flask](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask) >= 0.11 (BSD) -* [flask_restful](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask-RESTful) >= 0.3 (BSD) -* [networkx](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/networkx/) >= 1.11 (BSD) -* [oslo.config](http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslo.config/) >= 3.9.0 (Apache 2.0) -* [prometheus_client](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/prometheus_client) >= 0.0.13 (Apache 2.0) -* [pyaml](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyaml) >=15.8.2 (WTFPL) -* [pytest-runner](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-runner) >= 2.8 (MIT) -* [pytest](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest) >= 2.9 (MIT) -* [requests](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests) >= 2.10 (Apache 2.0) -* [ryu](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ryu/4.4) >= 4.4 (Apache 2.0) -* [six](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six/) >=1.9 (MIT) -* [tabulate](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tabulate) >= 0.7.5 (public domain) -* [urllib3](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/urllib3) >= 1.15 (MIT) -* [zerorpc](http://www.zerorpc.io) >= 0.5.2 (MIT) +This installation option applies if you want to use vim-emu in combination with OSM. -### Contributing -Contributing to the son-emu is really easy. You must: +```sh +./install_osm.sh --vimemu +``` -1. Clone [this repository](http://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu); -2. Work on your proposed changes, preferably through submiting [issues](https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu/issues); -3. Submit a Pull Request; -4. Follow/answer related [issues](https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu/issues) (see Feedback-Chanel, below). +This command will install OSM as well as the emulator (as a Docker container) on a local machine. It is recommended to use a machine with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. More details about this installation option can be found in the [OSM wiki](https://osm.etsi.org/wikipub/index.php/VIM_emulator). -## Installation -There are two ways to install and use son-emu. The simple one is to use Vagrant to create a VirtualBox-based VM on you machine that contains the pre-installed and configured emulator. The more complicated installation requires a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and is done by a ansible playbook. +### Standalone installation -### Vagrant Installation +#### Option 1: Bare-metal installation -* Request VirtualBox and Vagrant to be installed on the system. -* `git clone https://github.com/sonata-nfv/son-emu.git` -* `cd ~/son-emu` -* `vagrant up` -* `vagrant ssh` to enter the new VM in which the emulator is installed. +```sh +sudo apt-get install ansible git aptitude +``` -Follow the MOTD in the VM to run the example topology and the dummy-gatekeeper. The dummy-gatekeeper's default port 5000 is forwarded to the host machine and can be accessed from it by using, e.g., curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/packages. +##### Step 1. Containernet installation -### Ansible Installation +```sh +cd +git clone https://github.com/containernet/containernet.git +cd ~/containernet/ansible +sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local install.yml +cd .. +sudo make develop +``` -* Requires: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS -* `sudo apt-get install ansible git aptitude` -* `sudo vim /etc/ansible/hosts` -* Add: `localhost ansible_connection=local` +##### Step 2. vim-emu installation -#### 1.
