Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
================

This document describes installation from source. If you want to build a
``deb``, see :ref:`packaging-debian`.

Installing Dependencies

.. code-block:: console

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt-get install \
      git autoconf automake libtool make libreadline-dev texinfo \
      pkg-config libpam0g-dev libjson-c-dev bison flex python3-pytest \
      libc-ares-dev python3-dev libsystemd-dev python-ipaddress python3-sphinx \
      install-info build-essential libsystemd-dev libsnmp-dev perl libcap-dev

.. include:: building-libyang.rst

Protobuf
^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo apt-get install protobuf-c-compiler libprotobuf-c-dev

ZeroMQ
^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo apt-get install libzmq5 libzmq3-dev

Building & Installing FRR
-------------------------

Add FRR user and groups
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo groupadd -r -g 92 frr
   sudo groupadd -r -g 85 frrvty
   sudo adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/run/frr/ \
      --gecos "FRR suite" --shell /sbin/nologin frr
   sudo usermod -a -G frrvty frr

Compile
^^^^^^^

.. include:: include-compile.rst

Install FRR configuration files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons.conf /etc/frr/daemons.conf
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons

Tweak sysctls
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Some sysctls need to be changed in order to enable IPv4/IPv6 forwarding and
MPLS (if supported by your platform). If your platform does not support MPLS,
skip the MPLS related configuration in this section.

Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and uncomment the following values (ignore the
other settings):

::

   # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
   net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

   # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv6
   #  Enabling this option disables Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
   #  based on Router Advertisements for this host
   net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

Reboot or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running system.

Add MPLS kernel modules
"""""""""""""""""""""""

Ubuntu 18.04 ships with kernel 4.15. MPLS modules are present by default.  To
enable, add the following lines to :file:`/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`:

::

   # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
   mpls_router
   mpls_iptunnel


And load the kernel modules on the running system:

.. code-block:: console

   sudo modprobe mpls-router mpls-iptunnel

If the above command returns an error, you may need to install the appropriate
or latest linux-modules-extra-<kernel-version>-generic package. For example
``apt-get install linux-modules-extra-`uname -r`-generic``

Enable MPLS Forwarding
""""""""""""""""""""""

Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and the following lines. Make sure to add a line
equal to :file:`net.mpls.conf.eth0.input` for each interface used with MPLS.

::

   # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
   net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
   net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
   net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
   net.mpls.platform_labels=100000

Install service files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo install -m 644 tools/frr.service /etc/systemd/system/frr.service
   sudo systemctl enable frr

Enable daemons
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Open :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` with your text editor of choice. Look for the
section with ``watchfrr_enable=...`` and ``zebra=...`` etc.  Enable the daemons
as required by changing the value to ``yes``.

Start FRR
^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: shell

   systemctl start frr
