SrsEPC: Install

To get started with srsEPC you will require a PC with a GNU/Linux based operating system. This can be a distribution of your preference, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc.

If you are using Ubuntu, you can install from the binary packages provided:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:srslte/releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install srsepc

If you are using a different distribution, you can install from source using the guide provided in the project’s GitHub page.

After installing the software you can install the configuration files into the default location (~/.config/srsran), by running:

srsran_install_configs.sh user

Running the software To run srsEPC with default parameters, run sudo srsepc on the command line. srsEPC needs to run with sudo admin privileges in order to create a TUN device. This will start the EPC and it will wait for eNBs and UEs to connect to it.

srsEPC will start a TUN interface srs_spgw_sgi that will allow user-plane packets to reach the UEs.
