Installation Guide

Abstract

This document describes how to install some of the Non-RT RIC components, their dependencies and required system resources.

Software Installation and Deployment

Install with Helm in Kubernetes

The easiest and preferred way to install NONRTRIC functions is using Kubernetes, with installation instructions provided in Helm Charts. Full details of how to install NONRTRIC functions are provided in Deploy NONRTRIC in Kubernetes.

Helm charts and several example recipes are provided in the it/dep repo, in the ‘smo-install’ directory to selectively deploy NONRTRIC and SMO functions as part of an Integrated SMO Deployment .

Install with Docker

Some NONRTRIC functions, and simpler usecases can be install directly using Docker. Full details of how to use Docker for NONRTRIC functions are provided in Deploy NONRTRIC in Docker.

Install with Docker Compose

Some older docker compose files are provided, in the “docker-compose” folder, to install the components. Run the following command to start the components:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml
  -f policy-service/docker-compose.yaml
  -f ics/docker-compose.yaml

The example above is just an example to start some of the components. For more information on running and configuring the functions can be found in the README file in the “docker-compose” folder, and on the wiki page

However, the ‘Helm in Kubernetes’ approach above is the preferred method to install SMO & NONRTRIC functions.
