This page describes how to run a Nox OpenFlow controller(Zaku release as of March 2011) on a MyPLC host running Fedora 8.

These instructions derive from the Ubuntu installation instructions at the ​nox wiki. In more detail the steps to take after reserving a host and logging in are :

1. Install Development tools

   sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
   

2. Get and install gcc 4.2.4

   wget http://mirrors-us.seosue.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.2.4/gcc-4.2.4.tar.bz2
   tar -xvjpf gcc-4.2.4.tar.bz2
   mkdir gcc-obj
   cd gcc-obj
   ../gcc-4.2.4/configure
   make
   sudo make install
   

3. Install Nox dependencies

   sudo yum install  python-twisted libpcap-devel git-core openssl-devel boost-devel python-simplejson
   

4. Get and compile nox

   git clone https://github.com/noxrepo/nox-classic nox
   cd nox
   # Optional step, if you want zaku and not destiny
   git checkout zaku
   ./boot.sh
   cd ../
   mkdir nox_build
   cd nox_build
   ../nox/configure
   make -j 5
