# Install CentOS Below is a detailed path for installing CORE and related tooling on a fresh CentOS 7 install. Both of the examples below will install CORE into its own virtual environment located at **/opt/core/venv**. Both examples below also assume using **~/Documents** as the working directory. ## Script Install This section covers step by step commands that can be used to install CORE using the script based installation path. ``` shell # install system packages sudo yum -y update sudo yum install -y git sudo wget tzdata unzip libpcap-devel libpcre3-devel \ libxml2-devel protobuf-devel unzip uuid-devel tcpdump make epel-release sudo yum-builddep -y python3 # install python3.9 cd ~/Documents wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.15/Python-3.9.15.tgz tar xf Python-3.9.15.tgz cd Python-3.9.15 ./configure --enable-optimizations --with-ensurepip=install sudo make -j$(nproc) altinstall python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip # install core cd ~/Documents git clone https://github.com/coreemu/core cd core NO_SYSTEM=1 PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python3.9 ./setup.sh source ~/.bashrc PYTHON=python3.9 inv install -p /usr --no-python # install emane cd ~/Documents wget -q https://adjacentlink.com/downloads/emane/emane-1.3.3-release-1.el7.x86_64.tar.gz tar xf emane-1.3.3-release-1.el7.x86_64.tar.gz cd emane-1.3.3-release-1/rpms/el7/x86_64 sudo yum install -y ./openstatistic*.rpm ./emane*.rpm ./python3-emane_*.rpm # install emane python bindings into CORE virtual environment cd ~/Documents wget https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.19.6/protoc-3.19.6-linux-x86_64.zip mkdir protoc unzip protoc-3.19.6-linux-x86_64.zip -d protoc git clone https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane.git cd emane git checkout v1.3.3 ./autogen.sh PYTHON=/opt/core/venv/bin/python ./configure --prefix=/usr cd src/python PATH=~/Documents/protoc/bin:$PATH make sudo /opt/core/venv/bin/python -m pip install . ``` ## Package Install This section covers step by step commands that can be used to install CORE using the package based installation path. This will require downloading a package from the release page, to use during the install CORE step below. ``` shell # install system packages sudo yum -y update sudo yum install -y git sudo wget tzdata unzip libpcap-devel libpcre3-devel libxml2-devel \ protobuf-devel unzip uuid-devel tcpdump automake gawk libreadline-devel libtool \ pkg-config make sudo yum-builddep -y python3 # install python3.9 cd ~/Documents wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.15/Python-3.9.15.tgz tar xf Python-3.9.15.tgz cd Python-3.9.15 ./configure --enable-optimizations --with-ensurepip=install sudo make -j$(nproc) altinstall python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip # install core cd ~/Documents sudo PYTHON=python3.9 yum install -y ./core_*.rpm # install ospf mdr cd ~/Documents git clone https://github.com/USNavalResearchLaboratory/ospf-mdr.git cd ospf-mdr ./bootstrap.sh ./configure --disable-doc --enable-user=root --enable-group=root \ --with-cflags=-ggdb --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/quagga --enable-vtysh \ --localstatedir=/var/run/quagga make -j$(nproc) sudo make install # install emane cd ~/Documents wget -q https://adjacentlink.com/downloads/emane/emane-1.3.3-release-1.el7.x86_64.tar.gz tar xf emane-1.3.3-release-1.el7.x86_64.tar.gz cd emane-1.3.3-release-1/rpms/el7/x86_64 sudo yum install -y ./openstatistic*.rpm ./emane*.rpm ./python3-emane_*.rpm # install emane python bindings into CORE virtual environment cd ~/Documents wget https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.19.6/protoc-3.19.6-linux-x86_64.zip mkdir protoc unzip protoc-3.19.6-linux-x86_64.zip -d protoc git clone https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane.git cd emane git checkout v1.3.3 ./autogen.sh PYTHON=/opt/core/venv/bin/python ./configure --prefix=/usr cd src/python PATH=~/Documents/protoc/bin:$PATH make sudo /opt/core/venv/bin/python -m pip install . ``` ## Setup PATH The CORE virtual environment and related scripts will not be found on your PATH, so some adjustments needs to be made. To add support for your user to run scripts from the virtual environment: ```shell # can add to ~/.bashrc export PATH=$PATH:/opt/core/venv/bin ``` This will not solve the path issue when running as sudo, so you can do either of the following to compensate. ```shell # run command passing in the right PATH to pickup from the user running the command sudo env PATH=$PATH core-daemon # add an alias to ~/.bashrc or something similar alias sudop='sudo env PATH=$PATH' # now you can run commands like so sudop core-daemon ```
