Installation
============

As of today (early june 2018), the preferred method to install ifupdown2, is by
building the source code (as it will always install the most recent stable
release). See `Installing latest stable release from sources`_ chapter.

Installing latest stable release from sources
---------------------------------------------

The sources for ifupdown2 can be downloaded from the `Github repo`_.

You can either clone the public repository:

.. code-block:: console

    $ git clone git://github.com/CumulusNetworks/ifupdown2

Or download the `tarball`_:

.. code-block:: console

    $ curl  -OL https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/ifupdown2/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you should build a deb-package and install it

.. code-block:: console

    $ cd ifupdown2 && git checkout master && make deb

The generated deb should be in the root directory (``../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb``)

.. code-block:: console

    $ dpkg -i ../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb

We don't recommend using ``setup.py install`` directly, as it's still missing systemd/init.d scripts.
This capability should be added in the near future.

You might need to manually download dependencies. Mandatory dependencies:

.. code-block:: console

    $ apt-get install build-essential devscripts dh-systemd fakeroot python-all python-docutils iproute2 python-ipaddr python-setuptools

To build the deb file successfully, the following additional packages are required:

.. code-block:: console

    $ apt-get install dh-python python3-all python3-setuptools python3-docutils

Suggested dependencies:

.. code-block:: console

    $ apt-get install ethtool bridge-utils python-gvgen python-mako
