Install emu-tool and create a simulated meter

The emu-tool is a piece of software that runs in an Ubuntu command line interface to emulate a meter. The emu-tool uses Linux Containers (LXC) to create a container. It then copies into that container the same files, byte for byte, that are on a real meter. The container uses advanced RISC machine (ARM) instructions when running an agent on the emulated meter, just as agents run on real meters.

Download the emu-tool.deb file to your local computer from Sample files on page 1.
