RELEASE VERSION Installation

Flowgrind is part of Debian (since Jessie), Ubuntu (since Utopic), Gentoo, FreeBSD and Mac OS X (Homebrew). The installation of flowgrind in those distributions is straight forward.

• Debian & Ubuntu: Installation using apt-get:

    # apt-get update
    # aptitude install flowgrind

• Gentoo: If you want to use all flowgrind features, enable some use flags:

    # euse --enable gsl
    # euse --enable pcap

Installation using Portage:

    # echo "net-analyzer/flowgrind ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/flowgrind
    # emerge flowgrind

• FreeBSD: Installation using port tree:

    # cd /usr/ports/benchmarks/flowgrind
    # make install clean

• Mac OS X: Installation using Homebrew:

    # brew install flowgrind

TARBALL or GIT VERSION Installation

Flowgrind depends on the following tools and libraries:

• GNU Build System (aka Autotools)
• libxmlrpc-c - XMLRPC library with curl transport and abyss server
• uuid-dev - Universally unique id library

These libraries as well as their headers and tools need to be installed (install appropriate -dev packages too).

The following dependencies are optional and only required for advanced features:

• libpcap (for automatic traffic dump, optional)
• libgsl (for advanced traffic generation, optional)

Debian & Ubuntu

• Install essentials and required xmlrpc-c library:

    # sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper cdbs autotools-dev
    # sudo apt-get install libxmlrpc-core-c3 libxmlrpc-core-c3-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev uuid-dev

• Install optional libGSL and libpcap library if you want to use all flowgrind features:

    # sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
    # sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev

• Download and extract archive:

    # tar xjvf flowgrind-*.tar.bz2
    # cd flowgrind-*

  OR checkout flowgrind from the git repository:

    # git clone git://github.com/flowgrind/flowgrind.git
    # cd flowgrind
    # autoreconf -i

• Build Debian package:

    # dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

• Install resulting packages:

    # cd ..
    # sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Gentoo

If you want to install the latest version from the git repository, you can use the provided ebuild with git support.

• Copying ebuild files into local portage overlay (e.g. /usr/local/portage)

    # tar xfvj flowgrind-*.tar.bz2
    # cp -R flowgrind-*/gentoo/net-analyzer/ /usr/local/portage

• Unmask and emerge:

    # echo "net-analyzer/flowgrind ** > /etc/portage/package.keywords/flowgrind
    # emerge flowgrind

• Hint: you can select a different git branch (e.g., next) by setting the environment for the emerge like this:

  FLOWGRIND_LIVE_BRANCH=next emerge flowgrind

FreeBSD

• Install required xmlrpc-c library:

    # cd /usr/ports/net/xmlrpc-c; make install clean (activate curl)

• Install required uuid-dev library:

    # cd /usr/ports/misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid; make install clean

• Install optional libGSL and libpcap library if you want to use all flowgrind features:

    # cd /usr/ports/math/gsl
    # make install clean
    # cd /usr/ports/net/libpcap
    # make install clean

• Download and extract archive:

    # tar xjvf flowgrind-*.tar.bz2
