The YANG Development Kit (YDK) is a Software Development Kit that provides API's that are modeled in YANG. The main goal of YDK is to reduce the learning curve of YANG data models by expressing the model semantics in an API and abstracting protocol/encoding details. YDK is composed of a core package that defines services and providers, plus one or more module bundles that are based on YANG models.
A docker image is automatically built with the latest ydk-go installed. This be used to run ydk-go without installing anything natively on your machine.
To use the docker image, install docker on your system and run the below command. See the docker documentation for more details.
docker run -it ydkdev/ydk-go
You can install YDK-Go on macOS or Linux. It is not currently supported on Windows.
The following packages must be present in your system before installing YDK-Go:
Install third-party dependency software:
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libpcre3-dev libssh-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libtool-bin cmake
# Install gcc-5 and g++-5
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
sudo apt-get update > /dev/null
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5 -y > /dev/null
sudo ln -f -s /usr/bin/g++-5 /usr/bin/c++
sudo ln -f -s /usr/bin/gcc-5 /usr/bin/cc
Install YDK core library:
For Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04.4):
$ wget https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/debian-ydk/0.8.0/xenial/libydk_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi libydk_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
For Bionic (Ubuntu 18.04.1):
$ wget https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/debian-ydk/0.8.0/bionic/libydk_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi libydk_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
The following packages must be present in your system before installing YDK-Go:
$ sudo yum install epel-release
$ sudo yum install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libssh-devel libtool gcc-c++ pcre-devel cmake libstdc++-static git
# Install gcc-5 and g++-5
$ yum install centos-release-scl -y > /dev/null
$ yum install devtoolset-4-gcc* -y > /dev/null
$ ln -sf /opt/rh/devtoolset-4/root/usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc
$ ln -sf /opt/rh/devtoolset-4/root/usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++
# Install YDK core library
$ sudo yum install https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/rpm-ydk/0.8.0/libydk-0.8.0-1.x86_64.rpm
# Install libydk_gnmi library (optional)
$ ./test/dependencies_linux_gnmi.sh
$ sudo yum install https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/rpm-ydk/0.8.0/libydk_gnmi-0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm
It is recommended to install homebrew and Xcode command line tools on your system before installing YDK-Go:
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
$ brew install pkg-config libssh libxml2 xml2 curl pcre cmake
$ xcode-select --install
# Install YDK core library
$ curl -O https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/osx-ydk/0.8.0/libydk-0.8.0-Darwin.pkg
$ sudo installer -pkg libydk-0.8.0-Darwin.pkg -target /
Note. The libssh-0.8.0 and following versions do not support multi-threading feature, which is required by YDK. Therefore it is required to install or reinstall libssh-0.7.x
$ brew reinstall openssl
$ export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
$ wget https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/snapshot/libssh-0.7.6.tar.gz
$ tar zxf libssh-0.7.6.tar.gz && rm -f libssh-0.7.6.tar.gz
$ mkdir libssh-0.7.6/build && cd libssh-0.7.6/build
$ cmake ..
$ sudo make install
The YDK requires Go version 1.9 or higher. If this is not the case, follow below installation steps. Make sure that environment variables GOROOT and GOPATH are properly set.
$ sudo wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz &> /dev/null
$ sudo tar -zxf go1.9.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
$ export GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
$ export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
$ export CGO_ENABLED=0
$ export GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$GOROOT
$ gvm install go1.9.2
In order to enable YDK support for gNMI protocol, which is optional, the following third party software must be installed prior to gNMI YDK component installation.
wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.5.0/protobuf-cpp-3.5.0.zip
unzip protobuf-cpp-3.5.0.zip
cd protobuf-3.5.0
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
git clone -b v1.9.1 https://github.com/grpc/grpc
cd grpc
git submodule update --init
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
For Xenial:
$ wget https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/debian-ydk/0.8.0/xenial/libydk_gnmi_0.4.0-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi libydk_gnmi_0.4.0-1_amd64.deb
For Bionic:
$ wget https://devhub.cisco.com/artifactory/debian-ydk/0.8.0/bionic/libydk_gnmi_0.4.0-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi libydk_gnmi_0.4.0-1_amd64.deb
There is an open issue with gRPC on Centos/Fedora, which requires an extra step before running any YDK gNMI application.
See this issue on GRPC GitHub for details.
As a workaround, the YDK based application runtime environment must include setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable:
PROTO="/Your-Protobuf-and-Grpc-installation-directory"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PROTO/grpc/libs/opt:$PROTO/protobuf-3.5.0/src/.libs:/usr/local/lib64
You can download the latest YDK Go source code, which include core, and model bundles, from GitHub:
$ go get github.com/CiscoDevNet/ydk-go/ydk
