Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
================

This document describes installation from source. If you want to build a
``deb``, see :ref:`packaging-debian`.

Installing Dependencies
-----------------------

.. code-block:: console

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt-get install \
      git autoconf automake libtool make libreadline-dev texinfo \
      pkg-config libpam0g-dev libjson-c-dev bison flex \
      libc-ares-dev python3-dev python3-sphinx \
      install-info build-essential libsnmp-dev perl \
      libcap-dev python2 libelf-dev libunwind-dev \
      libyang2 libyang2-dev

.. include:: building-libunwind-note.rst

Note that Ubuntu >= 20 no longer installs python 2.x, so it must be
installed explicitly. Ensure that your system has a symlink named
``/usr/bin/python`` pointing at ``/usr/bin/python3``.

.. code-block:: shell

   sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
   python --version

In addition, ``pip`` for python2 must be installed if you wish to run
the FRR topotests. That version of ``pip`` is not available from the
ubuntu apt repositories; in order to install it:

.. code-block:: shell

   curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
   sudo python2 ./get-pip.py

   # And verify the installation
   pip2 --version


Protobuf
^^^^^^^^
This is optional

.. code-block:: console

   sudo apt-get install protobuf-c-compiler libprotobuf-c-dev


Config Rollbacks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If config rollbacks are enabled using ``--enable-config-rollbacks``
the sqlite3 developer package also should be installed.

.. code-block:: console

   sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev


ZeroMQ
^^^^^^
This is optional

.. code-block:: console

   sudo apt-get install libzmq5 libzmq3-dev

Building & Installing FRR
-------------------------

Add FRR user and groups
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo groupadd -r -g 92 frr
   sudo groupadd -r -g 85 frrvty
   sudo adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/run/frr/ \
      --gecos "FRR suite" --shell /sbin/nologin frr
   sudo usermod -a -G frrvty frr

Compile
^^^^^^^

.. include:: include-compile.rst

Install FRR configuration files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons.conf /etc/frr/daemons.conf
   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons

Tweak sysctls
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Some sysctls need to be changed in order to enable IPv4/IPv6 forwarding and
MPLS (if supported by your platform). If your platform does not support MPLS,
skip the MPLS related configuration in this section.

Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and uncomment the following values (ignore the
other settings):

::

   # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
   net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

   # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv6
   #  Enabling this option disables Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
   #  based on Router Advertisements for this host
   net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

Reboot or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running system.

Add MPLS kernel modules
"""""""""""""""""""""""

Ubuntu 20.04 ships with kernel 5.4; MPLS modules are present by default.  To
enable, add the following lines to :file:`/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`:

::

   # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
   mpls_router
   mpls_iptunnel


And load the kernel modules on the running system:

.. code-block:: console

   sudo modprobe mpls-router mpls-iptunnel

If the above command returns an error, you may need to install the appropriate
or latest linux-modules-extra-<kernel-version>-generic package. For example
``apt-get install linux-modules-extra-`uname -r`-generic``

Enable MPLS Forwarding
""""""""""""""""""""""

Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and the following lines. Make sure to add a line
equal to :file:`net.mpls.conf.eth0.input` for each interface used with MPLS.

::

   # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
   net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
   net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
   net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
   net.mpls.platform_labels=100000

Install service files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

   sudo install -m 644 tools/frr.service /etc/systemd/system/frr.service
   sudo systemctl enable frr

Enable daemons
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Open :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` with your text editor of choice. Look for the
section with ``watchfrr_enable=...`` and ``zebra=...`` etc.  Enable the daemons
as required by changing the value to ``yes``.

Start FRR
^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: shell

   systemctl start frr
