Installation

AutoNetkit requires Python 2.7
AutoNetkit is available on the Python Package Index. You can install it using either the easy_install

            easy_install autonetkit

or pip Python package management tools

            pip install autonetkit

Mac OS X

Note: depending on your system, you may need to use sudo with pip or easy_install.

            sudo easy_install autonetkit

or

            sudo pip install autonetkit

Linux

First install Python, and easy_install or pip using your package manager:

            sknight@trc1:~$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
            sknight@trc1:~$ pip install autonetkit

Windows

1. Download Python for Windows from:

   http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2.msi

   Install the package
2. Download easy_install for Windows:

   http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe#md5=57e1e64f6b7c7f1d2eddfc9746bbaf20

   Install the package
3. Start a command window (run cmd.exe) and cd to directory to which Python was installed (defaults to C:\Python27)
4. cd into the Scripts directory.
5. Install the PIP package management tool by typing:

   easy_install pip

6. Once complete, install AutoNetkit as follows:

   pip.exe install autonetkit

   AutoNetkit is now installed in the ‘scripts’ directory

Development Alpha

These instructions work for both OSX and Linux. They are untested on Windows, but if you have Pip you should be able to run the development branch. To install pip:

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg#md5=bfa92100bd772d5a213eedd356d64086
sudo sh ./setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
sudo easy_install pip

You can now install the development branch of AutoNetkit (note this is in alpha stage!)

sudo pip install git+https://github.com/sk2/autonetkit

Draw a graph in yED, save as .graphml format, and pass this to AutoNetkit:

autonetkit -f backbone.graphml --compile

You can also start the webserver:

ank_webserver

And should be able to connect in a browser at 127.0.0.1:8000 If you now run autonetkit -f as before, the output will update in your web browser.
