Table of Contents

Prerequisites

virtcontainers has a few prerequisites for development:

  • docker
  • CNI
  • golang
  • gometalinter

A number of these can be installed using the virtcontainers-setup.sh script.

Building

To build virtcontainers, at the top level directory run:

# make

Testing

Before testing virtcontainers, ensure you have met the prerequisites.

Before testing you need to install virtcontainers. The following command will install virtcontainers into its own area (/usr/bin/virtcontainers/bin/ by default).

# sudo -E PATH=$PATH make install

To test virtcontainers, at the top level run:

# make check

This will:

  • run static code checks on the code base.
  • run go test unit tests from the code base.
