[vpp-dev] Which installation is the proper way?

[Krisztián Varga]

Hello everyone,

I found two different ways to install VPP on my computer, but I'm not sure,
if these ways do the same. There is the documentation for the first one:
https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.06/gettingstarted/installing/ubuntu.html .
With this, I don't have a VPP folder in my home directory, and the plugins
not seem to be working this way.
The other way I found was this:
https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Pulling,_Building,_Running,_Hacking_and_Pushing_VPP_Code
I tried it on Ubuntu 18.04, but it failed at install-dep and install
bootstrap. I need to use DPDK plugin for my job, which installation would
be better?
Also, if I put a PCI address in the config file to the dpdk{ } part, then
should I enable the plugin for the dpdk?

Thank you for the answers.

Hi Krisztián, 

The first option installs vpp’s debian packages, it will not install vpp in 
your home folder. Once you’re done installing the debs, check if vpp is running 
with something like ps, e.g., ps -ef | grep vpp. Make sure to install 
vpp-plugin-core, to get the plugins.  

Regarding the second option, we no longer support ubuntu 18.04. Could you try 
with 20.04? 

Regards,
Florin

To your last question, the dpdk{} configuration won't work if you disable
the dpdk plugin.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04, now the second option (git clone, make
install-dep etc.) worked fine, but I'm not sure how to start the vpp
process after I have the files built. sudo start vpp and sudo  service vpp
start doesn't work, sudo vppctl neither. I found some startup.conf files in
/vpp/src/vpp/conf directory, but i can't compile them because I get:
/usr/bin/vpp: command not found. Should I do the first kind of installation
(installing the debs) also, or what is the correct way to have vpp up and
running?

The guide you were looking at didn't mention the installation on your host
machine. You may want to take a look at
https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.06/developer/build-run-debug/building.html and
read all the way to the bottom of the page.
