+Building FRR on Fedora 24 from Git Source
+=========================================
+
+Install required packages
+-------------------------
+
+Add packages:
+
+ sudo dnf install git autoconf automake libtool make gawk readline-devel \
+ texinfo net-snmp-devel groff pkgconfig json-c-devel pam-devel \
+ perl-XML-LibXML pytest
+
+Get FRR, compile it and install it (from Git)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+**This assumes you want to build and install FRR from source and not using any packages**
+
+### Add frr groups and user
+
+ sudo groupadd -g 92 frr
+ sudo groupadd -r -g 85 frrvt
+ sudo useradd -u 92 -g 92 -M -r -G frrvt -s /sbin/nologin \
+ -c "FRR FreeRangeRouting suite" -d /var/run/frr frr
+
+### Download Source, configure and compile it
+(You may prefer different options on configure statement. These are just an example.)
+
+You may want to pay special attention to `/usr/lib64` paths and chenge them if you are not building on a x86_64 architecture
+
+ git clone https://github.com/freerangerouting/frr.git frr
+ cd frr
+ git checkout stable/2.0
+ ./bootstrap.sh
+ ./configure \
+ --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \
+ --libdir=/usr/lib64/frr \
+ --libexecdir=/usr/lib64/frr \
+ --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
+ --enable-pimd \
+ --enable-snmp=agentx \
+ --enable-multipath=64 \
+ --enable-ospfclient=yes \
+ --enable-ospfapi=yes \
+ --enable-user=frr \
+ --enable-group=frr \
+ --enable-vty-group=frrvt \
+ --enable-rtadv \
+ --disable-exampledir \
+ --enable-watchfrr \
+ --enable-tcp-zebra \
+ --enable-fpm \
+ --with-pkg-git-version \
+ --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyOwnFRRVersion
+ make
+ make check
+ sudo make install
+
+### Create empty FRR configuration files
+ sudo mkdir /var/log/frr
+ sudo mkdir /etc/frr
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/zebra.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/bgpd.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/ospfd.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/ospf6d.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/isisd.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/ripd.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/ripngd.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/pimd.conf
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/ldpd.conf
+ sudo chown -R frr:frr /etc/frr/
+ sudo touch /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+ sudo chown frr:frrvt /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+ sudo chmod 640 /etc/frr/*.conf
+
+### Enable IP & IPv6 forwarding (and MPLS)
+
+Create a new file `/etc/sysctl.d/90-routing-sysctl.conf` with the following content:
+(Please make sure to list all interfaces with required MPLS similar to `net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1`)
+
+ # Sysctl for routing
+ #
+ # Routing: We need to forward packets
+ net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1
+ net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+ #
+ # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
+ net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
+ net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
+ net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
+ net.mpls.platform_labels=100000
+
+Create a new file `/etc/modules-load.d/mpls.conf` with the following content:
+
+ # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
+ mpls-router
+ mpls-iptunnel
+
+**Reboot** or use `sysctl` to apply the same config to the running system
+
+### Install Service files
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/zebra.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/zebra.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/isisd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/isisd.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/ripd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ripd.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/ospfd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ospfd.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/bgpd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/bgpd.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/ospf6d.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ospf6d.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/ripngd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ripngd.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/pimd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/pimd.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/pimd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ldpd.service
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/frr.sysconfig /etc/sysconfig/frr
+ install -p -m 644 redhat/frr.logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/frr
+
+### Register the systemd files
+ systemctl preset zebra.service
+ systemctl preset ripd.service
+ systemctl preset ospfd.service
+ systemctl preset bgpd.service
+ systemctl preset ospf6d.service
+ systemctl preset ripngd.service
+ systemctl preset pimd.service
+ systemctl preset ldpd.service
+
+### Enable required daemons at startup
+Only enable zebra and the daemons which are needed for your setup
+
+ systemctl enable zebra
+ systemctl enable ospfd
+ systemctl enable bgpd
+ [...] etc (as needed)
