Install required packages
 | 
						|
-------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add packages:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   sudo apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool make \
 | 
						|
      libprotobuf-c-dev protobuf-c-compiler build-essential \
 | 
						|
      python3-dev python3-pytest python3-sphinx libjson-c-dev \
 | 
						|
      libelf-dev libreadline-dev cmake libcap-dev bison flex \
 | 
						|
      pkg-config texinfo gdb libgrpc-dev python3-grpc-tools
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. include:: building-libunwind-note.rst
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. include:: building-libyang.rst
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get FRR, compile it and install it (from Git)
 | 
						|
---------------------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**This assumes you want to build and install FRR from source and not
 | 
						|
using any packages**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add frr groups and user
 | 
						|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    sudo addgroup --system --gid 92 frr
 | 
						|
    sudo addgroup --system --gid 85 frrvty
 | 
						|
    sudo adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/opt/frr/ \
 | 
						|
       --gecos "FRR suite" --shell /bin/false frr
 | 
						|
    sudo usermod -a -G frrvty frr
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Download Source, configure and compile it
 | 
						|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(You may prefer different options on configure statement. These are just
 | 
						|
an example.)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
 | 
						|
    cd frr
 | 
						|
    ./bootstrap.sh
 | 
						|
    ./configure \
 | 
						|
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
 | 
						|
        --localstatedir=/var \
 | 
						|
        --sbindir=/usr/lib/frr \
 | 
						|
        --enable-multipath=64 \
 | 
						|
        --enable-user=frr \
 | 
						|
        --enable-group=frr \
 | 
						|
        --enable-vty-group=frrvty \
 | 
						|
        --enable-configfile-mask=0640 \
 | 
						|
        --enable-logfile-mask=0640 \
 | 
						|
        --enable-fpm \
 | 
						|
        --with-pkg-git-version \
 | 
						|
        --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyOwnFRRVersion
 | 
						|
    make
 | 
						|
    make check
 | 
						|
    sudo make install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For more compile options, see ``./configure --help``
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create empty FRR configuration files
 | 
						|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/frr.conf
 | 
						|
    sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Edit ``/etc/frr/daemons`` and enable the FRR daemons for the protocols you need
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Enable IP & IPv6 forwarding
 | 
						|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Edit ``/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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Troubleshooting
 | 
						|
---------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Shared library error
 | 
						|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you try and start any of the frrouting daemons you may see the below
 | 
						|
error due to the frrouting shared library directory not being found:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ./zebra: error while loading shared libraries: libfrr.so.0: cannot open
 | 
						|
   shared object file: No such file or directory
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The fix is to add the following line to /etc/ld.so.conf which will
 | 
						|
continue to reference the library directory after the system reboots. To
 | 
						|
load the library directory path immediately run the ldconfig command
 | 
						|
after adding the line to the file eg:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   echo include /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
 | 
						|
   ldconfig
