Added more hopefully useful information.
We may want to start cutting things at some point - it looks more complicated than it really is!

Many different installation options are possible; probably the minimal
|
||||
semi-useful configuration would be to install Mininet itself, kernel
|
||||
support if necessary, and either the reference OpenFlow switch or
|
||||
Open vSwitch. This could be installed as follows, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
% sudo ~/mininet/util/install.sh -knvm
|
||||
|
||||
Respectively, this installs kernel support, core mininet dependencies,
|
||||
Open vSwitch, and the Open vSwitch kernel module. If a new kernel was
|
||||
installed, then a reboot may be required.
|

If you successfully used install.sh, congratulations! You're basically

done. Proceed to step [6] for additional advice.

If you did not install certain useful packages and you wish to later,

it may be possible to install them using install.sh.
