This guide describes how to build and install CORD.
If this is your first encounter with CORD, we suggest you start by bringing up an emulated version called CORD-in-a-Box. It installs CORD on a set of virtual machines running on a single physical server. Just follow our CORD-in-a-Box Guide.
You can also install CORD on a physical POD. This involves first assembling a set of servers and switches, and then pointing the build system at that target hardware. You can either follow our Quick Start Guide, or read a more detailed, step-by-step recipe for Installing a Physical POD.
