ASSUMPTIONS

This README assumes that: * you are working on a Unix-like system, so the variable $HOME is available; * all the software will be in the $HOME/src folder; * this repository has been cloned to $HOME/src/iof-tools;

Please execute the following beforehand: mkdir -p $HOME/src

Omni tool

The Omni command line tool is required to perform operations on the remote testbeds. Supported operations include querying for testbed status/available resources, allocating/releasing resources (slices) and creating/deleting experiments.

Omni software dependencies

omni only works with Python version 2, so you should either switch your system wide installation of Python to version 2 or install Python 2 and then change the first line of the omni tool source code (see Omni installation). On ubuntu, in order to install the omni's software dependencies run the following command:

sudo apt install python-m2crypto python-dateutil python-openssl libxmlsec1 \ xmlsec1 libxmlsec1-openssl libxmlsec1-dev autoconf

For other operating systems take a look at the official wiki page

Omni installation

In order to install omni executes the following commands:

cd $HOME/src git clone https://github.com/GENI-NSF/geni-tools omni cd omni ./autogen.sh ./configure make cd $HOME/src/iof-tools ln -s $HOME/src/omni/src/omni omni

If you are using Python version 3 and you don't want to switch system-wide to Python 2, edit the first line of the omni source file and change it to ```

!/usr/bin/env python2

```

Verify that omni has been installed correctly by executing omni --version. This command should print something that resembles the following:
