RyuInstallHelper

There are two ways to install ryu without any painful

Option 1: Get the latest official version source build and install it.

(The Easiest Way)

An automatic installation script for build and install Ryu source code on Ubuntu 12.04+.

To make installation easiest. This helper script which should get all dependencies and download, build, and install Ryu.

$ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdnds-tw/ryuInstallHelper/master/ryuInstallHelper.sh | bash

That's it !!

Note: This script has only been tested on the most recent stable version of Ubuntu.

Option 2: Using Python Virtualenv

virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments.

1. Install Ryu dependency

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install git python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev -y

2. Setup virtualenv

First, create a new virtualenv called "ryu_venv":

$ virtualenv ryu_venv

Activate the newly created virtualenv:

$ source ./ryu_venv/bin/activate

Your shell prompt will now display the currently active virtualenv:

(ryu_venv)$

3. Install the Ryu packages

(ryu_venv)$ pip install ryu

4. Starting Ryu

Once you have properly setup virtualenv and install ryu, you can start ryu using following command:

(ryu_venv)$ ryu-manager

You may need to clone official source code for running sample application.

$ git clone https://github.com/osrg/ryu.git

Running a sample application

(ryu_venv)$ ryu-manager ./ryu/ryu/ryu/app/simple_switch_13.py

5. Deactivate virtualenv

If you want to leave python virtualenv just using deactivate command.

(ryu_venv)$ deactivate
