missing dependancies in install guide #161

Closed base0x10 closed 4 years ago

base0x10 commented 5 years ago

Bug Report

Current Behavior install.sh, the script to configure and install dpdk relies on python2 in/usr/env/python` which is not by default installed on newer distros (with an eye to the eol in january). Installing python is not a step in the install guide

Expected behavior/code The install guide asks you to install python3

Steps to reproduce try to install with guide on a fresh install of a new distro

Environment

Possible Solution

Update install documentation

@base0x10 any update on this?

sreyanalla commented 4 years ago

I can take a look at this issue and see what can be fixed.

base0x10 commented 4 years ago

Thanks for taking this @sreya519 It looks like python2 may not be required for DPDK. I am not sure if you want to add Python2 to the list of dependencies or to fix it to use python3 rather than python2. See here and here

The solution is we should update our scripts/*.py to use python 3 and be sure that the install script adds python3 as a dependency.

Check if DPDK 18.11 requires python 2 for its user tools scripts. If so we should install both python2 and python3.
