-Installing vswitchperf
-======================
-
-The test suite requires Python 3.3 and relies on a number of other
-packages. These need to be installed for the test suite to function. To
-install Python 3.3 in CentOS 7, an additional repository, Software
-Collections (see
-https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/python33) should be
-enabled.
-
-Install the requirements as specified below.
-
-Enable Software Collections (SCL)
----------------------------------
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- yum -y install scl-utils
- yum -y install https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/python33/epel-7-x86_64/download/rhscl-python33-epel-7-x86_64.noarch.rpm
-
-(Optional) Enable Repoforge (for stress)
-----------------------------------------
-Allows optional installation of stress tool, which is required by load tests.
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- yum -y install http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm
-
-System packages
------------------
-There are a number of packages that must be installed using `yum`. These can be installed like so:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- yum -y --exclude=python33-mod_wsgi* install python33-* pciutils
-
-Optional installation of stress tool
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- yum -y install stress
-
-Python 3 Packages
------------------
-
-To avoid file permission errors and Python version issues, use
-virtualenv to create an isolated environment with Python3. The required
-Python 3 packages can be found in the ``requirements.txt`` file in the
-root of the test suite. They can be installed in your virtual
-environment like so:
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- scl enable python33 bash
- # Create virtual environment
- virtualenv vsperfenv
- cd vsperfenv
- source bin/activate
- pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-You need to activate the virtual environment every time you start a new
-shell session. To activate, simple run:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
- scl enable python33 bash
- cd vsperfenv
- source bin/activate

-Working Behind a Proxy
-======================
-
-If you're behind a proxy, you'll likely want to configure this before
-running any of the above. For example:
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- export http_proxy=proxy.mycompany.com:123
- export https_proxy=proxy.mycompany.com:123
