  1. Download the IPOP binary and controller file from the link.

For CentOs user

or you can use below command on your console.

wget http://www.acis.ufl.edu/~xetron/pragma-ent/ipop-pragma-0.1-centos.zip # for CentOs
wget http://www.acis.ufl.edu/~xetron/pragma-ent/ipop-pragma-0.1-ubuntu.zip # for Ubuntu
  1. IPOP requires python-argparse package as a prerequisite. Install it if you don't have it. (You don't need this step if you are Ubuntu user)
sudo yum install python-argparse
  1. Contact one of the coordinator to get a config file.
  1. Run ipop-tincan
sudo ./ipop-tincan-centos # For Centos
sudo ./ipop-tincan-ubuntu # For Ubuntu users
  1. Use the config file provided from the coordinator and run the controller.
./gvpn_controller.py -c config.json
  1. Now, you can see the ipop tap device when you list network interface.
ifconfig -a
  1. You may attach this ipop tap to your linux bridge or Open vSwitch to extend the PRAMA-ENT network. Or you can run it without attaching to any bridge.
