Getting started
Installation
We put some effort in getting you started as smooth as possible.
For first tests and development you can use the Docker platform to bootstrap your environment. Docker is a software to run containers (a.k.a images in Docker's terminology) on a Linux machine. We use for development as well as for testing or demonstrating VILLASnode's functionality.
Note: Please be aware that we do not recommend to use Docker for running VILLASnode in a real-time simulation.
We prepared a image which you can download and run out of the box:
-
Download the Docker toolbox: https://www.docker.com/docker-toolbox . This toolbox includes a virtual machine as well all the Docker tools you need to the Docker container which is provided by us. More instructions to get with can be found here: http://docs.docker.com/windows/started/
-
After installing the toolbox, open the "Docker Quickstart Terminal"
-
Start the latest VILLASnode container by running:
$ docker run rwth-acs/villas-node --help
