Installing Fastcapa Automatically

Installing Fastcapa has several steps and involves building Data Plan Development Kit (DPDK), loading specific kernel modules, enabling huge page memory, and binding compatible network interface cards.

The best documentation is code that actually does this for you. An Ansible role that performs the entire installation procedure can be found at https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-deployment/development/fastcapa. Use this to install Fastcapa or as a guide for manual installation. The automated installation assumes CentOS 7.1 and is directly tested against bento/centos-7.1.
