I would like to analyse the Freifunk batman mesh network in Germany/Kiel.

Answer 1

Download it here:

• https://github.com/tcatm/alfred-json
• https://github.com/tcatm/alfred

first install alfred-json:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/tcatm/alfred-json.git
cd alfred-json
sudo apt-get install libjansson-dev cmake
cmake .
make
make install

For some examples: see the README in that GIT repository

To use alfred you need to install batman with the packet

sudo apt-get install batctl

then

sudo  modprobe batman-adv

and install alfred itself:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/tcatm/alfred.git
cd alfred
make
make install

see Install batman-adv under Ubuntu to start a mesh network

You can also create the PPA: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/90-debian.draic.info.list

deb [arch=amd64] http://debian.draic.info/ wheezy main
deb-src http://debian.draic.info/ wheezy main

To install the alfred daemon (A.L.F.R.E.D - Almighty Lightweight Fact Remote Exchange Daemon) and batadv-vis:

cd /tmp/
wget https://github.com/rubo77/alfred-repository/blob/master/alfred_2014.3.0-11_i386.deb?raw=true
sudo dpkg -i alfred_2014.3.0-11_i386.deb
wget https://github.com/rubo77/alfred-repository/blob/master/batadv-vis_2014.3.0-11_i386.deb?raw=true
sudo dpkg -i batadv-vis_2014.3.0-11_i386.deb
