If you are running Ubuntu 10.04 or Debian Lenny, you may be able to use the
util/install.sh script to install a compatible Linux kernel as well as
other software including the OpenFlow reference implementation, the Open
vSwitch switch implementation, and the NOX OpenFlow controller. Assuming
the mininet source tree is installed in ~/mininet, the steps to run
install.sh are as follows:
vSwitch switch implementation, and the NOX OpenFlow controller.
Many different installation options are possible by passing different
options to install.sh; install.sh -h lists them all.
Assuming the mininet source tree is installed in ~/mininet, the steps to run
install.sh to install everything we use for OpenFlow tutorials are:
% cd
% time ~/mininet/util/install.sh
% time ~/mininet/util/install.sh
# installs tons of stuff
% sudo reboot # to load new kernel
% ~/mininet/util/install.sh -c # to clean out unneeded kernel stuff
This installs a lot of useful software, but it will take a while (20
minutes or more, depending on your network connection, computer, etc..)
If install.sh cannot be used for some reason, or if you don't want to
install all of these components (they're useful!), the kernel and
OpenFlow software requirements are descibed in steps [3] and [4],
which follow.
Many different installation options are possible; probably the minimal
semi-useful configuration would be to install Mininet itself, kernel
support if necessary, and either the reference OpenFlow switch or
Open vSwitch. This could be installed as follows, for example
:
Probably the minimal semi-useful configuration would be to install

as follows
:

Respectively, this installs kernel support, core mininet dependencies,
Open vSwitch, and the Open vSwitch kernel module. If a new kernel was
installed, then a reboot may be required.
If install.sh cannot be used for some reason, or if you don't want to
install all of these components (they're useful!), the kernel and
OpenFlow software requirements are described in steps [3] and [4],

If you successfully used install.sh, congratulations! You're basically
done. Proceed to step [6] for additional advice.
