 The installation procedures have been significantly streamlined (e.g. to use apt). It is described in the [http://noxrepo.org/noxwiki/index.php/NOX_Installation NOX wiki], but it will be repeated here for completeness. 
 
 === Base system ===
-NOX was built on an Ubuntu 10.10 server install with the following additions:
- * packages: openssh-server ckermit git chromium-browser xinit icewm
+NOX was built on an Ubuntu 10.10 server (with sshd enabled) install with the following additions:

+Tarballs for packet injection to test NOX modules:
+ * [http://nemesis.sourceforge.net/ nemesis] 
+ * Libnet-1.0.2a (found on same page, must be installed before building nemesis)
+ 
+For the testbed topology:
  * additional Ethernet interface (for !OpenFlow channel)
- * no LVM 
 
 The switch is a NEC IP880/S3640 with !OpenFlow v 1.0 enabled firmware.

+This will install the latest version of NOX available from the main branch (v0.9 as of this documentation). If you want to pull a specific version of NOX, you can do a `git checkout -b <name> <branch location>` after the initial invocation of git. For example, if you want to use v0.8(destiny) instead of v0.9, you can issue the following commands:
+{{{
+cd nox/
+git checkout -b destiny origin/destiny
+}}}  
+before running `boot.sh`.
+
+To see the available branches, you can use the command `git branch` from the nox directory with the flag `-r`, for "remote":
+{{{
+root@nox-gp:/opt/nox# git branch -r
+  origin/HEAD -> origin/zaku
+  origin/destiny
+  origin/dev/destiny-fast
+  origin/openflow-0.8.9
+  origin/openflow-0.9
+  origin/openflow-1.0
+  origin/zaku
+}}}
+And choose your pick from the list. 
+
+4. generate documentation. From the build directory:
+{{{
+cd doc/doxygen            
+make html
+}}} 
+And point your browser to index.html under doc/doxygen/html.
