Client installation

The client is composed by two parts:

• CoovaChilli: you will need a patched version of CoovaChilli
• Dedalo: a wrapper around to CoovaChilli

Currently, installation is supported only on CentOS 7 and NethServer 7.

We are also working to support in on OpenWrt.

RPMs

RPMs for CentOS are automatically built on each release.

• Patched CoovaChilli, available at NethServer repositories
• Dedalo, available on Github
