TestON could be run on Linux platform

###Configuring Linux to run TestON :

Requirements:

1. A Linux 2.6.26 or greater kernel compiled with network namespace support enabled (see INSTALL for additional information.)

2. python 2.6 or higher versions.

Install python package configObj. It can be installed by following either of the way:

1. $ sudo pip install configObj

2. Provided the local copy of configobj-4.7.2 package in /lib/ directory.

   1. Install this package by running:

   python setup.py install

Note: pox and mininet components must be installed for the drivers to work. It is recommended that you have a openflow Virtual Machine installed as it is easier.

Clone the TestON from https://github.com/OPENNETWORKINGLAB/ONLabTest.git

Please configure mail server details before going to start working with TestON

• Open core/utilities.py file inside TestON Framework
• Check def send_mail(self) and configure the mail server and your credentials as mention below:

233: msg['From'] = '[email protected]'
