About
=====

CORE is a tool for emulating networks using a GUI or Python scripts. The CORE
project site (1) is a good source of introductory information, with a manual,
screenshots, and demos about this software. The GitHub project (2) hosts the
source repos, wiki, and bug tracker. There is a deprecated
Google Code page (3) with the old wiki, blog, bug tracker, and quickstart guide.

Building CORE
=============

To build this software you should use:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

Note: You may need to pass the proxy settings to sudo make install:
    sudo make install HTTP_PROXY=<proxy>

Here is what is installed with 'make install':

    /usr/local/bin/core-gui
    /usr/local/sbin/core-daemon
    /usr/local/sbin/[vcmd, vnoded, coresendmsg, core-cleanup.sh]
    /usr/local/lib/core/*
    /usr/local/share/core/*
    /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/core/*
    /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/[netns,vcmd].so
    /etc/core/*
    /etc/init.d/core

See the manual for the software required for building CORE.

Building Documentation
======================

Being able to build documentation depends on help2man being installed.

Once that has been done you can run the following commands:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure
    make html

Running CORE
============

First start the CORE services:

    sudo /etc/init.d/core-daemon start

This automatically runs the core-daemon program.
Assuming the GUI is in your PATH, run the CORE GUI by typing the following:

    core-gui

This launches the CORE GUI. You do not need to run the GUI as root.


Support
=======

If you have questions, comments, or trouble, please use the CORE mailing lists:

- `core-users`_ for general comments and questions

- `core-dev`_ for bugs, compile errors, and other development issues
