...

• • Name: build, type: Linux:
    • Select 2GB of RAM
    • Hard disk: take the defaults: 8 GB and Create a virtual hard disk now
    • Hard disk file type: VDI
    • Storage on physical hard disk: Dynamically allocated
    • File location and size: type "build" for the name - select at least 10 GB for the size of the virtual hard disk for the build VM
  • Click on settings for the build VM:
    • Storage: Controller IDE – click on the disk with a + sign symbol to add an optical drive. Choose disk: browse to the location of the downloaded iso file.
    • Add a 2nd network adapter for host-only network (see the screenshot in the section for Creating onos-scratch VM.)
    • System: Motherboard tab – uncheck floppy, move optical to the top in the Boot Order box.
  • Install Ubuntu (use the same credentials as for the first Ubuntu VM). When the installation completes, power the VM on and login.
    
    

• Generate a SSH public key on your build machine if you hadn't done so in the past.
  Login to the build machine and run the following command:

  Code Block
  language text
  build:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

  The default options and no password are fine for this tutorial.

• Verify connectivity. From the build machine you should be able to SSH to the onos-scratch VM using the IP address assigned to eth1:

  Code Block
  language text
  build:~$ ssh -l sdn 192.168.56.101

  If the ssh connection failed make sure that the openssh-server is installed by running:

  Code Block
  language text
  $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server

  Check that you can ping the onos-scratch VM by IP from the build machine and reverse, for example:

  Code Block
  language text
  sdn@build:~$ ping 192.168.56.101

  Close the ssh connection to the onos-scratch VM by typing exit.

2. Install required software

On the build machine

Install Git:

build:~$ sudo apt-get install git-core

build:~$ cd; mkdir Downloads Applications
build:~$ cd Downloads
build:~$ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/karaf/3.0.5/apache-karaf-3.0.5.tar.gz
build:~$ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.3.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz
build:~$ tar -zxvf apache-karaf-3.0.5.tar.gz -C ../Applications/
build:~$ tar -zxvf apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz -C ../Applications/ 

build:~$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y
build:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y
build:~$ sudo apt-get update
build:~$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer oracle-java8-set-default -y

Clone the ONOS source:

Now let’s copy a repository into a new onos directory under the home directory on the build machine.

...

This will create a directory called onos, with the source code in it.

On the onos-scratch VM

The VM only requires Java 8 - follow the instructions for Java 8 above performed on the build VM.

...

sdn@build:~$ nano . ~/.bashrc

Add the line below at the end of the file:

...

Once you run the above command, you will see in the output of the env that  command that several new variables, such as ONOS_ROOT, OCI, and KARAF_ROOT, have been set.
