The Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating networks on one or more machines. You can connect these emulated networks to live networks. CORE consists of a GUI for drawing topologies of lightweight virtual machines, and Python modules for scripting network emulation.

• core-users for general comments and questions
• core-dev for bugs, compile errors, and other development issues

./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make doc

Install fpm: http://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html

Build package commands, DESTDIR is used for gui packaging only

./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
mkdir /tmp/core-gui
make fpm DESTDIR=/tmp/core-gui

This will produce:

• CORE GUI rpm/deb files
  • core-gui_$VERSION_$ARCH
• CORE ns3 rpm/deb files
  • python-core-ns3_$VERSION_$ARCH
• CORE python rpm/deb files for SysV and systemd service types
  • python-core-sysv_$VERSION_$ARCH
  • python-core-systemd_$VERSION_$ARCH

First start the CORE services:

# sysv
sudo service core-daemon start
# systemd
sudo systemctl start core-daemon

This automatically runs the core-daemon program. Assuming the GUI is in your PATH, run the CORE GUI by typing the following:

core-gui

This launches the CORE GUI. You do not need to run the GUI as root.
