Installation
Manual installation
- Install required packages
sudo apt-get install mysql-server git screen wget python-yaml python-libvirt python-bottle \ python-mysqldb python-jsonschema python-paramiko python-argcomplete python-requests
- Configure python-argcomplete
activate-global-python-argcomplete --user echo ". /home/${USER}/.bash_completion.d/python-argcomplete.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
- Clone the git repository:
git clone https://github.com/nfvlabs/openmano.git openmano
- Database creation
mysqladmin -u root -p create vim_db
- Grant access privileges from localhost. Go to mysql console and use the following commands to create user vim and grant privileges to the databases:
mysql> CREATE USER 'vim'@'localhost' identified by 'vimpw'; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON vim_db.* TO 'vim'@'localhost';
- Initialize database
openmano/openvim/database_utils/init_vim_db.sh -u vim -p vimpw
- Add openvim client and scripts to the PATH. It is enough to create the /home/${USER}/bin/ folder and add there the appropriate links:
mkdir /home/${USER}/bin/ ln -s ${PWD}/openmano/openvim/openvim /home/${USER}/bin/openvim ln -s ${PWD}/openmano/scripts/service-openmano.sh /home/${USER}/bin/service-openmano
Automatic installation
wget https://github.com/nfvlabs/openvim/raw/master/scripts/install-openvim.sh chmod +x install-openmano.sh sudo ./install-openmano.sh [<database-root-user> [<database-root-password>]] #NOTE: you can provide optionally the DB root user and password. If you don't provide it, the script will prompt for it.
