In this section, we describe how to configure a machine (physical or virtual) to be used as the deployment, execution, and development environment for the ETSI TeraFlowSDN controller. Choose your preferred environment below and follow the instructions provided.

**NOTE**: If you already have a remote physical server fitting the requirements specified in this section feel free to use it instead of deploying a local VM. Check [1.1.1. Physical Server](./1.1.-Configure-your-Machine/1.1.1.-Physical-Server) for further details.

Virtualization platforms tested are:
  - [1.1.1. Physical Server](./1.1.-Configure-your-Machine/1.1.1.-Physical-Server)
  - [1.1.2. Oracle Virtual Box](./1.1.-Configure-your-Machine/1.1.2.-Oracle-Virtual-Box)
  - [1.1.3. VMWare Fusion](./1.1.-Configure-your-Machine/1.1.3.-VMWare-Fusion)
  - [1.1.4. OpenStack](./1.1.-Configure-your-Machine/1.1.4.-OpenStack)
  - [1.1.5. Vagrant Box](./1.1.-Configure-your-Machine/1.1.5.-Vagrant-Box)

Other virtualization environments might be used; in that case, you will need to adapt these instructions to your particular case. If you want to contribute with details on how you used other hypervisors or platforms, [contact](https://labs.etsi.org/rep/tfs/controller/-/wikis/home#contact) the TFS team through Slack.
