Since this is a common task a simple search would give you one of the many short howtos where experienced users helped those who asked, like [1]. For the most basic check I'd say just install with "apt install dpdk" that will give you the testpmd app already. Of course you need to setup hugepages and assign devices, but the config of the packages and [2] will help you. If after this you want to build an own application what I usually do is like: # get dev libs and examples $ apt-get install dpdk-doc dpdk-dev libdpdk-dev # auto-get build dependencies (here you'll need the deb-src again) $ apt-get build-dep dpdk # get build env config . /usr/share/dpdk/dpdk-sdk-env.sh # build example mkdir -p /tmp/l2fwd make -C /usr/share/dpdk/examples/l2fwd "O=/tmp/l2fwd" [1]: http://askubuntu.com/questions/761357/how-to-automatically-update-etc-apt-sources-list-with-source-uris-on-ubuntu-16 [2]: https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/DPDK.html -- Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
