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=
Here is what is installed with 'make install':
/usr/local/bin/core-gui
/usr/local/bin/core-daemon
/usr/local/bin/[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
Building Packages
Install fpm
http://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html
Build package commands, DESTDIR is used for gui packaging only
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
mkdir /tmp/core-gui
make fpm DESTDIR=/tmp/core-gui
This will produce:
- CORE GUI rpm/deb files
- CORE ns3 rpm/deb files
- CORE python rpm/deb files for SysV and systemd service types
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
