Install the following dependencies:

• python3
• pip
• web3
• networkx
• strip_ansi
• dsplot (need to also install graphviz and libgraphviz-dev)
• pyvis
• matplotlib
• docker
• docker-compose, specifically version 2.20.2 (avaliable here)

Depending on which way you installed docker compose (standalone or part of docker) you may need to change the last line of the setup program (blockchain-pos.py) from docker compose to docker-compose (2 occurrences in the line). If you are running on a hpc may need to comment out the line and do it manually (see later)

Start by changing directory to the seed emulator folder and running source development.env

Change directory to the ETH Emulator program, modify the clients and topology for your application then run python3 blockchain-pos.py. The last line of blockchain-pos.py is supposed to open a new terminal and use docker-compose to build and run the emulation. If it is not working you can do it manually by changing directory to the generated folder output and running sudo docker compose build and sudo docker compose up (or docker-compose). You can then manage the running emulation with the controller: python3 Controller.py

When you first run sudo docker compose build it may fail because it is missing some required docker images. To fix this, navigate to output/dummies and look at the contents of those files. It should say something like "FROM handsonsecurity/seedemu-router". Remove the "FROM " and use docker pull on the rest of the string like so: docker pull handsonsecurity/seedemu-router After doing this, docker compose build may still keep giving the same error. As far as I am aware this is a glitch or a cache not clearing and the solution is unfortunately to repeatedly run docker compose build for about 10 minutes until it realizes it has the dependency.
