Obtaining required software

If you are starting this tutorial at the Spring 2018 P4 Developer Day, then we've already provided you with a virtual machine that has all of the required software installed.

Otherwise, to complete the exercises, you will need to either build a virtual machine or install several dependencies.

To build the virtual machine:

Install Vagrant and VirtualBox
cd vm
vagrant up
Log in with username p4 and password p4 and issue the command sudo shutdown -r now
When the machine reboots, you should have a graphical desktop machine with the required software pre-installed.

To install dependencies by hand, please reference the vm installation scripts. They contain the dependencies, versions, and installation procedure. You can run them directly on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine:

sudo ./root-bootstrap.sh
sudo ./user-bootstrap.sh
