Installation

As of today (early june 2018), the preferred method to install ifupdown2, is by building the source code (as it will always install the most recent stable release). See Installing latest stable release from sources chapter.

Installing latest stable release from sources

The sources for ifupdown2 can be downloaded from the Github repo.

You can either clone the public repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/CumulusNetworks/ifupdown2

Or download the tarball:

$ curl  -OL https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/ifupdown2/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you should build a deb-package and install it

$ cd ifupdown2 && git checkout master && make deb

The generated deb should be in the root directory (../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb)

$ dpkg -i ../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb

We don't recommend using setup.py install directly, as it's still missing systemd/init.d scripts. This capability should be added in the near future.

You might need to manually download dependencies. Mandatory dependencies:

$ apt-get install build-essential devscripts dh-systemd fakeroot python-all python-docutils iproute2 python-ipaddr python-setuptools

To build the deb file successfully, the following additional packages are required:

$ apt-get install dh-python python3-all python3-setuptools python3-docutils

Suggested dependencies:

$ apt-get install ethtool bridge-utils python-gvgen python-mako
