The manual installation process is quite long and cumbersome because of the dependencies that are needed by P4-Utils. For this reason, we provide a Bash script that automatically goes through every step.
Warning!
The script has been tested with Ubuntu 20.04.6 and Ubuntu 22.04.3. To install for Ubuntu 18.04 refer to this older script.
With the following installation methods, you will download and install Mininet and the P4-Tools suite (P4-Utils, P4-Learning and their dependencies) in your user's home directory.
To get started quickly and conveniently, you may want to install the P4-Tools suite using the following command:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nsg-ethz/p4-utils/master/install-tools/install-p4-dev.sh | bashThe main drawback of piping to bash is that you cannot review the code
that is going to run on your system. Therefore, we provide this alternative
methods that allows you to inspect the intallation script:
wget -O install-p4-dev.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nsg-ethz/p4-utils/master/install-tools/install-p4-dev.sh
bash install-p4-dev.sh
