The OpenAirInterface software can be obtained from our gitLab server. You will need a git client to get the sources. The repository is used for main developments.

Prerequisites

You need to install git using the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Clone the Git repository (for OAI Users without login to gitlab server)

The openairinterface5g repository holds the source code for the RAN (4G and 5G).

All users, anonymous access

Clone the RAN repository:

git clone https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g.git

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
