VERSION

# Installation Guide

1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/CloudNativeDataPlane/cndp

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd cndp

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Official Install Script

Easy Recommended

Prerequisites

Python 3 Python is required to use pip.

pip install pre-commit

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

✅ After installing, open a new terminal and run the program's version command (e.g. --version) to confirm it worked.

Pulled directly from this repo's README.

3. Docker

Easy

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Docker Desktop Needed to build and run containers. Install it and keep it running in the background.

├── containerization # Container configuration and setup scripts for Docker/K8s

Type this command into your terminal and run it.

✅ Run docker compose ps to check the containers are Up. If the README mentions a port, open http://localhost:PORT in your browser.

Pulled directly from this repo's README.

4. Python

Easy

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Python 3 On Windows, be sure to check 'Add Python to PATH' during installation.

pip install pre-commit

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

✅ If it runs without errors and prints output in the terminal, it worked.

Pulled directly from this repo's README.

5. Go

Medium

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Go The Go compiler and toolchain.

⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.

cd lang/go/bindings/cne

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

go build ./...

Compiles the Go program into an executable.

go run .

Runs the Go program directly without a separate build step.

✅ If the build finishes without errors, it worked. If you used go run ., check the terminal output.

6. Rust

Medium

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Rust (rustup) Installing via rustup also installs cargo.

⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.

cd lang/rs

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

cargo build --release

Compiles the Rust project.

cargo run

Builds and then immediately runs the program.

✅ If cargo build finishes without errors, it worked. The executable is created under target/.

7. Make

Medium

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

✅ If it finishes without errors, it worked. Try running the generated executable directly.
