Installation Preliminary installation instructions for rpkid et al. These are the production-side RPKI tools, for Internet Registries (RIRs, LIRs, etc). See ../rcynic/README for relying party tools. rpkid is a set of Python modules supporting generation and maintenance of resource certificates. Most of the code is in the rpkid/rpki/ directory. rpkid itself is a relatively small program that calls the library modules. There are several other programs that make use of the same libraries, as well as a collection of test programs. At present the package is intended to be run out of its build directory. Setting up proper installation in a system area using the Python distutils package would likely not be very hard but has not yet been done. Note that initial development of this code has been on FreeBSD, so installation will probably be easiest on FreeBSD. The first step to running the code is to build the OpenSSL and POW binaries. At present the OpenSSL code is just a copy of the stock OpenSSL 0.9.8g release, compiled with special options to enable RFC 3779 support that ISC wrote under previous contract to ARIN. The POW (Python OpenSSL Wrapper) library is an extended copy of the stock POW release. To build these, cd to the top-level directory in the distribution and type "make". $ cd $top $ make This should automatically build everything, in the right order, including staticly linking the POW extension module with the OpenSSL library to provide RFC 3779 support. Next, see the list of required Python modules in rpkid/README. Note that the Python code requires Python version 2.5. Install any modules that might be missing. You will also need a MySQL installation. This code was developed using MySQL 5.1 and has been tested with MySQL 5.0 and 5.1. The architecture is intended to support hardware signing modules (HSMs), but the code to support them has not been written. At this point, you should have all the necessary software installed. You will probably want to test it. All tests should be run from the rpkid/ directory. Some of the tests require MySQL databases to store their data. To set up all the databases that the tests will need, run the SQL commands in rpkid/testbed.sql. The MySQL command line client is usually the easiest way to do this, eg: $ cd $top/rpkid $ mysql -u root -p
