Console interface to NETCONF servers

This program provides an interactive console for working with YANG data. It can connect to NETCONF servers, and also talk to sysrepo locally.

Installation

For building, one needs:

• A C++20 compiler
• Boost (we're testing with 1.75)
• cmake for managing the build
• libyang version 2.0 plus the C++ bindings
• libnetconf2 version 2.1 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 2.1 plus the C++ bindings for the local sysrepo backend, and for the comprehensive test suite
• optionally, netopeer2 version 2.1 for a test suite

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.
