Installation - UEsim

 

The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to install a new release on the UEsim. Even with sophisticated functionality, the size of the installation package is pretty small (comparing to the package that comes with other equipment) and installation process is simple and reliable.  

There are a few ways of the installation that are most commonly used as follows. In terms of the installation software (installation script), there is no differences between them. The differences come from the option parameter used with install.sh  

NOTE :  The questions (item selection quation) during the installation would vary with the contents (components) contained in the installation tar ball. This contents is defined by the license options that you have purchased. When you download the installation package from extranet, the extranet creates the tar ball based on your license option and let you download it.

NOTE :  Is there any way to change the items for the default installation ?  Yes.   Perform the manual installation (i.e, ./install.sh without option) and reply to all the questions during the installation process. The answer you replied in this process will be stored in /root/lte-install and the selection stored in this file will be used as your own 'default' option.
