+Ubuntu 12.04LTS
+===============================================
+
+- MPLS is not supported on ``Ubuntu 12.04`` with default kernel. MPLS
+ requires Linux Kernel 4.5 or higher (LDP can be built, but may have
+ limited use without MPLS) For an updated Ubuntu Kernel, see
+ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
+
+Install required packages
+-------------------------
+
+Add packages:
+
+::
+
+ apt-get install \
+ git autoconf automake libtool make gawk libreadline-dev texinfo \
+ dejagnu pkg-config libpam0g-dev libjson0-dev flex python-pip \
+ libc-ares-dev python3-dev python3-sphinx install-info
+
+Install newer bison from 14.04 package source (Ubuntu 12.04 package
+source is too old)
+
+::
+
+ mkdir builddir
+ cd builddir
+ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bison/bison_3.0.2.dfsg-2.dsc
+ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bison/bison_3.0.2.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2
+ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bison/bison_3.0.2.dfsg-2.debian.tar.gz
+ tar -jxvf bison_3.0.2.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2
+ cd bison-3.0.2.dfsg/
+ tar xzf ../bison_3.0.2.dfsg-2.debian.tar.gz
+ sudo apt-get build-dep bison
+ debuild -b -uc -us
+ cd ..
+ sudo dpkg -i ./libbison-dev_3.0.2.dfsg-2_amd64.deb ./bison_3.0.2.dfsg-2_amd64.deb
+ cd ..
+ rm -rf builddir
+
+Install newer version of autoconf and automake:
+
+::
+
+ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
+ tar xvf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
+ cd autoconf-2.69
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+
+ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz
+ tar xvf automake-1.15.tar.gz
+ cd automake-1.15
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+
+Install pytest:
+
+::
+
+ pip install pytest
+
+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 -r -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 \
+ --enable-group=frr \
+ --enable-vty-group=frrvty \
+ --enable-configfile-mask=0640 \
+ --enable-logfile-mask=0640 \
+ --enable-rtadv \
+ --enable-fpm \
+ --with-pkg-git-version \
+ --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyOwnFRRVersion
+ 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/nhrpd.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty /dev/null /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+
+Enable IP & 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
+
+**Reboot** or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running
+system
+
+Install the init.d service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+::
+
+ sudo install -m 755 tools/frr /etc/init.d/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 -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
+
+Start the init.d service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- /etc/init.d/frr start
+- use ``/etc/init.d/frr status`` to check its status.
