Mininet Installation  

 

I have installed the Mininet on the virtual machine environement as below.

  • Windows 10 PC
  • VirtualBox v6.0
  • Ubuntu 19.4. You can download Ubutu here.

 

 

 

Before you install

 

Before you install the Mininet, try following command

 

$ > ifconfig

 

If this prints the message as follows, install the net-tool first as instructed.

    Command 'ifconfig' not found, but can be installed with :

    sudo apt install net-tools

 

 

 

Installing Mininet

 

I just followed the instructions on YouTube video : Mininet Install onto Fresh Ubuntu 16 04 using GitHub. Even if the Ubuntu version on this video is different from mine, it seems working without any major issues.

 

I got '2 Errors' printed at the end of the installation, but it doesn't seem to cause any major issue.  I got all the command line examples working as the video shows and got Miniedit running.

 

In case you just want to know of a few lines of command rather than watching the long video, I would put down a few command here. If you are not so sure about how these command is supposed to go, watch the video mentioned above.

 

Step 1 : download Mininet from git.
