6Installing DPDK from the Ports Collection
7=========================================
8
9The easiest way to get up and running with the DPDK on FreeBSD is to
10install it using the FreeBSD `pkg` utility or from the ports collection.
11Details of installing applications from packages or the ports collection are documented in the
12`FreeBSD Handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html>`_,
13chapter `Installing Applications: Packages and Ports <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports.html>`_.

18   and software to avoid any known vulnerabilities.

21Installing the DPDK Package for FreeBSD
22---------------------------------------
23
24DPDK can be installed on FreeBSD using the command::
25
26	pkg install dpdk
27
28After the installation of the DPDK package, instructions will be printed on
29how to install the kernel modules required to use the DPDK. A more
30complete version of these instructions can be found in the sections
31:ref:`loading_contigmem` and :ref:`loading_nic_uio`. Normally, lines like
32those below would be added to the file ``/boot/loader.conf``.
33
34.. code-block:: shell
35
36    # Reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver:
37    hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
38    hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
39    contigmem_load="YES"
40
41    # Identify NIC devices for DPDK apps to use and load nic_uio driver:
42    hw.nic_uio.bdfs="2:0:0,2:0:1"
43    nic_uio_load="YES"
44
45
46Installing the DPDK FreeBSD Port
47--------------------------------
48
49If so desired, the user can install DPDK using the ports collection rather than from
50a pre-compiled binary package.
51On a system with the ports collection installed in ``/usr/ports``, the DPDK
52can be installed using the commands::
53
54    cd /usr/ports/net/dpdk
55
56    make install
57
58
59Compiling and Running the Example Applications
60----------------------------------------------
61
62When the DPDK has been installed from the ports collection it installs
63its example applications in ``/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples``.
64These examples can be compiled and run as described in :ref:`compiling_sample_apps`.
65
66.. note::
67
68   DPDK example applications must be complied using `gmake` rather than
69   BSD `make`. To detect the installed DPDK libraries, `pkg-config` should
70   also be installed on the system.
71
72.. note::
73
74   To install a copy of the DPDK compiled using gcc, please download the
75   official DPDK package from https://core.dpdk.org/download/ and install manually using
76   the instructions given in the next chapter, :ref:`building_from_source`
77
78An example application can therefore be copied to a user's home directory and
79compiled and run as below, where we have 2 memory blocks of size 1G reserved
80via the contigmem module, and 4 NIC ports bound to the nic_uio module::
81
82    cp -r /usr/local/share/dpdk/examples/helloworld .
83
84    cd helloworld/
85
86    gmake

116.. note::
117
118   To run a DPDK process as a non-root user, adjust the permissions on
119   the ``/dev/contigmem`` and ``/dev/uio device`` nodes as described in section
120   :ref:`running_non_root`
121
122.. note::
123
124   For an explanation of the command-line parameters that can be passed to an
125   DPDK application, see section :ref:`running_sample_app`.
