* https://docs.accel-ppp.org/installation/debian.html
===== Install Instructions =====
* Install the following packages:
apt-get install -y build-essential cmake gcc linux-headers-`uname -r` git libpcre3-dev libssl-dev liblua5.1-0-dev
* Checkout the latest git source code:
sudo git clone https://github.com/accel-ppp/accel-ppp.git /opt/accel-ppp-code
* Create directory for build source code and go to this directory.
sudo mkdir /opt/accel-ppp-code/build
cd /opt/accel-ppp-code/build/
* Generate the Makefile:
cmake -DBUILD_IPOE_DRIVER=TRUE -DBUILD_VLAN_MON_DRIVER=TRUE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DKDIR=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` -DLUA=TRUE -DCPACK_TYPE=Debian12 ..
Remember the .. at the end of the statement. It sets the path to the accel-ppp source code. **Do not delete this!** Alternatively you can replace it with the full path to the accel-ppp souce code like ///opt/accel-ppp-code///
* Compile
sudo make
* Create a DEB package
sudo cpack -G DEB
* Install the package
sudo dpkg -i accel-ppp.deb
* If the install went OK you can use the reference config file and make it active
sudo mv /etc/accel-ppp.conf.dist /etc/accel-ppp.conf

sudo systemctl start accel-ppp
sudo systemctl status accel-ppp
