This page is for keeping track of the setup of the VM that is going to be used for the Tutorial.

These instructions are for VirtualBox 4.08.

In order to make the VM more usable, installed the Guest Additions (Devices -> Install Guest Additions).

Installing NOX

Downloaded the VM with Omni installed. Then followed the instructions from here.

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo wget http://openflowswitch.org/downloads/debian/nox.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nox-dependencies

Since nox-dependencies is not a common package, just to keep track of which packages are installed, these are the packages included in nox-dependencies :

> dpkg --info nox-dependencies.deb
