### Install
### Installation
To install Mininet, the easiest approach is to start with an Ubuntu system like 12.04 and run util/vm/install.sh, which will install any needed dependencies.
In general, you must have:
* A Linux kernel compiled with network namespace support
enabled (see `INSTALL` for additional information.)
* An OpenFlow implementation (either the reference user or kernel
space implementations, or Open vSwitch.) Appropriate kernel modules
(e.g. tun and ofdatapath for the reference kernel implementation) must
be loaded.
* Python, `bash`, `ping`, `iperf`, etc.
* Root privileges (required for network device access)
Further installation instructions are available in `INSTALL`.
See `INSTALL` for installation instructions and details.
