+Building FRR on Ubuntu 18.04LTS from Git Source
+===============================================
+
+Install required packages
+-------------------------
+
+Add packages:
+
+ apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool make gawk libreadline-dev \
+ texinfo pkg-config libpam0g-dev libjson-c-dev bison flex \
+ python-pytest libc-ares-dev python3-dev libsystemd-dev python-ipaddr
+
+Get FRR, compile it and install it (from Git)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+**This assumes you want to build and install FRR from source and not
+using any packages**
+
+### Add frr groups and user
+
+ sudo groupadd -g 92 frr
+ sudo groupadd -r -g 85 frrvty
+ sudo adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/run/frr/ \
+ --gecos "FRR suite" --shell /sbin/nologin frr
+ sudo usermod -a -G frrvty frr
+
+### Download Source, configure and compile it
+(You may prefer different options on configure statement. These are just
+an example.)
+
+ git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+ cd frr
+ ./bootstrap.sh
+ ./configure \
+ --prefix=/usr \
+ --enable-exampledir=/usr/share/doc/frr/examples/ \
+ --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
+ --sbindir=/usr/lib/frr \
+ --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \
+ --enable-pimd \
+ --enable-watchfrr \
+ --enable-ospfclient=yes \
+ --enable-ospfapi=yes \
+ --enable-multipath=64 \
+ --enable-user=frr \

+ make
+ make check
+ sudo make install
+
+### Create empty FRR configuration files
+
+ sudo install -m 755 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
+ sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/zebra.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/bgpd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ospfd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ospf6d.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/isisd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ripd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ripngd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/pimd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ldpd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/nhrpd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty /dev/null /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+
+### Enable IPv4 & IPv6 forwarding
+
+Edit `/etc/sysctl.conf` and uncomment the following values (ignore the
+other settings)
+
+ # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
+ net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+
+ # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv6
+ # Enabling this option disables Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
+ # based on Router Advertisements for this host
+ net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+
+### Enable MPLS Forwarding (with Linux Kernel >= 4.5)
+
+Edit `/etc/sysctl.conf` and the following lines. Make sure to add a line
+equal to `net.mpls.conf.eth0.input` or each interface used with MPLS
+
+ # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
+ net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
+ net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
+ net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
+ net.mpls.platform_labels=100000
+
+### Add MPLS kernel modules
+
+Add the following lines to `/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`:
+
+ # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
+ mpls-router
+ mpls-iptunnel
+
+**Reboot** or use `sysctl -p` to apply the same config to the running system
+
+### Install the systemd service (if rebooted from last step, change directory back to frr directory)
+
+ sudo install -m 644 tools/frr.service /etc/systemd/system/frr.service
+ sudo install -m 644 tools/etc/default/frr /etc/default/frr
+ sudo install -m 644 tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons
+ sudo install -m 644 tools/etc/frr/daemons.conf /etc/frr/daemons.conf
+ sudo install -m 644 tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf
+ sudo install -m 644 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+
+### Enable daemons
+
+Edit `/etc/frr/daemons` and change the value from "no" to "yes" for those daemons you want to start by systemd.
+For example.
+
+ zebra=yes
+ bgpd=yes
+ ospfd=yes
+ ospf6d=yes
+ ripd=yes
+ ripngd=yes
+ isisd=yes
+
+### Enable the systemd service
+- systemctl enable frr
+
+### Start the systemd service
+- systemctl start frr
+- use `systemctl status frr` to check its status.
