This a real gsm test suite configured and ready to use. The only thing missing is a trial dir containing binaries. You can point osmo-gsm-tester.py at this config using the OSMO_GSM_TESTER_CONF environment variable: export OSMO_GSM_TESTER_CONF="$PWD" When there is no OSMO_GSM_TESTER_CONF set, osmo-gsm-tester will instead look for conf files in several locations like ~/.config/osmo-gsm-tester, /usr/local/etc/osmo-gsm-tester, /etc/osmo-gsm-tester. If you have your trial with binary tar archives in ~/my_trial you can run the suite for example like this: osmo-gsm-tester.py ~/my_trial Specifically, from this dir: OSMO_GSM_TESTER_CONF="$PWD" ../src/osmo-gsm-tester.py ~/my_trial Alternatively you can setup this example as permanent config using something like: mkdir -p ~/.config ln -s "$PWD" ~/.config/osmo-gsm-tester A ./state dir will be created to store the current osmo-gsm-tester state. If you prefer not to write to $PWD, set up an own configuration pointing at a different path (see paths.conf: 'state_dir').
