Basically, you'll need a laptop/desktop with a recent Linux distro (Ubuntu, Fedora). We recommend Ubuntu. For this guide, the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was used. Also, note that you'll need administrative privileges in order to download and install extra packages and also to execute Mini-NDN.
Each node in Mini-NDN will run the official implementation of NDN. The following dependencies are needed:
Mini-NDN uses NFD, NLSR, and ndn-tlv-ping.
To install NFD: http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/INSTALL.html
To install NLSR: http://named-data.net/doc/NLSR/current/INSTALL.html
To install ndn-tools: https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tools
Mini-NDN is based on Mininet. To install Mininet: https://github.com/mininet/mininet/INSTALL
If you have all the dependencies installed simply clone this repository and run:
sudo ./install.sh -i
else if you don't have the dependencies:
sudo ./install.sh -mrfti
You can use these steps to verify your installation:
sudo minindn --experiment=pingall --nPings=50mininet> CLI prompt appears, the experiment has finished. On the Mini-NDN CLI, issue the command exit to exit the experiment.grep -c content /tmp/*/ping-data/*.txt. Each file should report a count of 50.grep -c timeout /tmp/*/ping-data/*.txt. Each file should report a count of 0.
