Do this all as root. Make sure you have python 2.4 installed
Download the client:
svn checkout svn://test.kernel.org/autotest/trunk/client /usr/local/autotest
If you have to go through a firewall that blocks the svn port:
svn checkout http://test.kernel.org/svn/autotest/trunk/client /usr/local/autotest
To download the client PLUS all the server code, etc
svn checkout svn://test.kernel.org/autotest/trunk /usr/local/autotest
Grab a couple of linux source bits for testing: (this step will go away once the local cache works)
cd /usr/local/src wget http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.14.tar.bz2 wget http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/old/patch-2.6.14-git6.bz2
Run a couple of simple tests:
cd /usr/local/autotest bin/autotest tests/sleeptest/control bin/autotest tests/fsx/control bin/autotest tests/kernbench/control
To run an individual test:
bin/autotest tests/<testname>/control
