RELEASE VERSION Installation

Flowgrind is part of Debian (since Jessie), Ubuntu (since Utopic), Gentoo, FreeBSD and Mac OS X (Homebrew). The installation of flowgrind in those distributions is straight forward.

  • Debian & Ubuntu: Installation using apt-get:

      # apt-get update
  # aptitude install flowgrind

  • Gentoo: If you want to use all flowgrind features, enable some use flags:

      # euse --enable gsl
  # euse --enable pcap

Installation using Portage:

    # echo "net-analyzer/flowgrind ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/flowgrind
    # emerge flowgrind

  • FreeBSD: Installation using port tree:

      # cd /usr/ports/benchmarks/flowgrind
  # make install clean

  • Mac OS X: Installation using Homebrew:

      # brew install flowgrind

TARBALL or GIT VERSION Installation

Flowgrind depends on the following tools and libraries:

  • GNU Build System (aka Autotools)
  • libxmlrpc-c with curl transport and abyss server

These libraries as well as their headers and tools need to be installed (install appropriate -dev packages too).

The following dependencies are optional and only required for advanced features:

  • libpcap (for automatic dump, optional)
  • libgsl (for advanced traffic generation, optional)

Debian & Ubuntu

  • Install essentials and required xmlrpc-c library:

      # sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper cdbs autotools-dev
  # sudo apt-get install libxmlrpc-core-c3 libxmlrpc-core-c3-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev

  • Install optional libGSL and libpcap library if you want to use all flowgrind features:

      # sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
  # sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev

  • Download and extract archive:

      # tar xjvf flowgrind-*.tar.bz2
  # cd flowgrind-*

    OR checkout flowgrind from the git repository:

      # git clone git://github.com/flowgrind/flowgrind.git
  # cd flowgrind
  # autoreconf -i

  • Build Debian package:

      # dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

  • Install resulting packages:

      # cd ..
  # sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Gentoo

If you want to install the GIT version from the git repository, you can use the provided ebuild with git support.

  • Copying ebuild files into local portage overlay (e.g. /usr/local/portage)

      # tar xfvj flowgrind-*.tar.bz2
  # cp -R flowgrind-*/gentoo/net-analyzer/ /usr/local/portage

  • Unmask and emerge:

      # echo "net-analyzer/flowgrind ** > /etc/portage/package.keywords/flowgrind
  # emerge flowgrind

  • Hint: you can select a different git branch (e.g., next) by setting the environment for the ebuild like this:

      # mkdir -p /etc/portage/env/
  # echo 'EGIT_BRANCH="next"' > /etc/portage/env/flowgrind-git-branch
  # echo "net-analyzer/flowgrind flowgrind-git-branch" >>/etc/portage/package.env

FreeBSD

  • Install required xmlrpc-c library:

      # cd /usr/ports/net/xmlrpc-c; make install clean (activate curl)

  • Install optional libGSL and libpcap library if you want to use all flowgrind features:

      # cd /usr/ports/math/gsl
  # make install clean
  # cd /usr/ports/net/libpcap
  # make install clean

  • Download and extract archive:

      # tar xjvf flowgrind-*.tar.bz2
  # cd flowgrind-*

    OR checkout flowgrind from the git repository:

      # git clone git://github.com/flowgrind/flowgrind.git
  # cd flowgrind
  # autoreconf -i

  • Build and install flowgrind:

      # ./configure
  # make
  # make install

Mac OS X

  • Install essentials and required xmlrpc-c library:

      # brew install gettext
  # brew install xmlrpc-c

  • Install optional libGSL if you want to use all flowgrind features:

      # brew install gsl

  • Download and extract archive:

      # tar xjvf flowgrind-*.tar.bz2
  # cd flowgrind-*

    OR checkout flowgrind from the git repository:

      # git clone git://github.com/flowgrind/flowgrind.git
  # cd flowgrind
  # autoreconf -i

  • Build and install flowgrind:

      # ./configure
