Software

We have created a Docker image that has all of the software needed to complete the tutorial exercises already installed.

• To download the Docker image:
  1. Install Dockerhttps://www.docker.com

     You may also find the instructions at the following links useful:

     • Ubuntu 16.04
     • Ubuntu 18.04
     • Mac (dockerhub account required)

     When installing on Ubuntu, make sure you do the optional step 2 (“Executing the Docker Command Without Sudo”).

  2. Clone the p4app repository:git clone --branch p4app --recurse-submodules https://github.com/p4lang/tutorials
  3. Change directory to the first exercise:cd tutorials/p4app-exercises/basic.p4app
  4. Try running the first example. This will download the docker image and store it locally, so you will have it ready for the event. You should see a mininet prompt (mininet>) at the end:make run
