Console interface to NETCONF servers

This program provides an interactive console for working with YANG data. It can connect to NETCONF servers, work as a standalone YANG data editor, or talk to sysrepo locally.

Installation

For building, one needs:

• A C++20 compiler
• Boost (we're testing with 1.78)
• cmake for managing the build
• libyang version 2.x plus the C++ bindings
• libnetconf2 version 2.x plus the C++ bindings for connecting to NETCONF servers
• replxx which provides interactive line prompts
• docopt for CLI option parsing
• pkg-config for building
• optionally, Doctest as a C++ unit test framework
• optionally, trompeloeil for mock objects in C++
• optionally, sysrepo version 2.x plus the C++ bindings for the local sysrepo backend, and for the comprehensive test suite
• optionally, netopeer2 version 2.x for a test suite

At times the devel branch of libyang, sysrepo, libnetconf2 and Netopeer2 might be required due to fresh bugfixes and behavior changes.

The build process uses CMake. A quick-and-dirty build with no fancy options can be as simple as mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && make install.
