## Obtaining required software
|
|
|
|
If you are starting this tutorial at the Fall 2017 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](https://vagrantup.com) and [VirtualBox](https://virtualbox.org)
|
|
- `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](../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`
