The supported installation methods for EasyOVS are
-
Native installation on common Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and Fedora.
-
Other distributions may be supported in the future - if you would like to contribute an installation script, we would welcome it!
If you're reading this, you've probably already done so, but the command to download the EasyOVS source code is:
$ git clone git://github.com/yeasy/easyovs.git
If you are running Ubuntu, you may be able to use our handy install.sh
script, which is in easyovs/util.
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
To install ALL of the software which is potentially useful software, you may use:
$ sudo bash easyovs/util/install.sh -a
The time depends on the network quality and your machine performance. This takes about 1 minutes on our test system.
You can change the directory where the dependencies are installed using the
-s <directory> flag.
$ sudo bash easyovs/util/install.sh -s <directory> -a
Although we don't support other Linux distributions directly, it should be possible to install and run EasyOVS with some degree of manual effort.
In general, you must have:
-
Python,
bash,git,make, etc. -
Root privileges (required for network device access)
We encourage contribution of patches to the install.sh script to support
other Linux distributions.
