Measurement Manager How-to

Download software from meas_manager and unpack. Package contains 2 READMEs and one INSTALL instruction files. The meas_manager/nox/meas_monitor/INSTALL file states:

INSTALL

git clone git://noxrepo.org/nox
<<<missing cd nox>>>
git checkout -b destiny remotes/origin/destiny

To create the component directory, 
make sure (nox/src/scripts is in your path and) execute:

cd nox/src/nox/netapps
nox-new-py-app.py meas_monitor <<do not exist as stated>>  ../../scripts/nox-new-py-app.py
nox-new-py-app.py grnoc_switch <<do not exist as stated>>

Copy the python components into their corresponding 
directories, from meas_manager/nox/meas_monitor/

grnoc_switch.py to nox/src/nox/netapps/grnoc_switch/grnoc_switch.py
meas_monitor.py to nox/src/nox/netapps/meas_monitor/meas_monitor.py

Compile NOX as usual:
 ./boot.sh
 mkdir build
 cd build
 ../configure
 make -j

To run NOX, with the meas_monitor and grnoc_switch components:
        cd src
        ./nox_core -i ptcp:6633 meas_monitor grnoc_switch
