+# rdkb-simulator
+A docker file and assorted support files for an rdkb-simulator (from the Xmidt perspective)
+
+# To Build
+
+1. Install *docker-ce* locally.
+    ```
+    Instructions to install docker-ce on Ubuntu:
+    
+    1) Remove any old installation and update:
+        > sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io
+        > sudo apt-get update
+        > sudo apt autoremove
+    2) Install essential packages:
+        > sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
+    3) Add key and verify if key is added:
+        > curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+        > sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
+        > sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
+          note: The command 'lsb_release -cs' should print the system codename e.g. xenial, otherwise replace with suitable command.
+       
+    4) Install docker-ce:
+        > sudo apt-get update
+        > sudo apt-get install docker-ce
+    
+    Test: verify if docker-ce installation is success by running hello-world:
+    > sudo docker run hello-world
+    
+    ```
+    
+2. Run: ```sudo docker build -t rdkb-simulator .```
+
+
+# To Execute
+
+Run:
+```sudo docker run -e CMAC=xxxx rdkb-simulator```
