Installation

Minimum System Requirements

VT-S3FNet has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04.5 and 18.04 LTS. It is advisable to run it on a system or VM with atleast 4 cores and 4GB of RAM.

  • Default python version on the system must be >= 3.6.9

Installing Common Dependencies

  • Install flex:

    sudo apt-get install flex

  • Install lxc version 3.0.3:

    wget -P ~/Downloads https://linuxcontainers.org/downloads/lxc/lxc-3.0.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf ~/Downloads/lxc-3.0.3.tar.gz
cd ~/lxc-3.0.3
./configure
sudo make install

    To get lxc-start to work, Apparmor profile must be disabled:

    sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.lxc-start /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.lxc-start

    Verify that lxc-start profile no longer exists with the following command:

    sudo aa-status

  • Install tunctl:

    sudo apt-get install uml-utilities bridge-utils

  • Install iptables:

    sudo apt-get install iptables net-tools

VT-S3FNet can work with Titan and Kronos. The installation procedure varies slightly depending on which virtual time system is used.

Installation with Titan

To get started, perform the following steps:

  • Install Titan using the installation steps described here.

  • Download version 1.0 of the code from here and extract it to the $HOME directory to a folder with name VT-S3FNet.

  • Build and install:

    cd ~/VT-S3FNet
sudo make clean fullbuild

Installation with Kronos

To get started, perform the following steps:

  • Install Kronos using the installation steps described here.

  • Download version 1.0 of the code from here and extract it to the $HOME directory to a folder with name VT-S3FNet.

  • Before the fullbuild step, remove all defines “-DENABLED_VT_MANAGER_TITAN” in all makefiles inside the ~/VT-S3FNet/base directory. This may be done with the following command:

    find ~/VT-S3FNet/base -type f -exec sed -i 's/DENABLED_VT_MANAGER_TITAN/UENABLED_VT_MANAGER_TITAN/g' {} \;

  • Build and install:

    cd ~/VT-S3FNet
sudo make clean fullbuild
