CORE is a tool for emulating networks using a GUI or Python scripts. The CORE project site (1) is a good source of introductory information, with a manual, screenshots, and demos about this software. The GitHub project (2) hosts the source repos, wiki, and bug tracker. There is a deprecated Google Code page (3) with the old wiki, blog, bug tracker, and quickstart guide.

To build this software you should use:

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

Here is what is installed with 'make install':

/usr/local/bin/core-gui /usr/local/sbin/core-daemon /usr/local/sbin/[vcmd, vnoded, coresendmsg, core-cleanup.sh] /usr/local/lib/core/* /usr/local/share/core/* /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/core/* /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/[netns,vcmd].so /etc/core/* /etc/init.d/core

See the manual for the software required for building CORE.

First start the CORE services:

sudo /etc/init.d/core-daemon start

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.

If you have questions, comments, or trouble, please use the CORE mailing lists:

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