Although the purpose of the Radio Edge Cloud is to run the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), the RIC software (which was written from scratch starting in the spring of 2019) is not quite stable enough yet to incorporate into the REC ISO image. The manual installation procedure described below does not result in the installation of the RIC. In the REC Continuous Deployment system, as of the Akraino Release 1 and 2 timeframe, a Jenkins job deploys a snapshot of the RIC and runs a small set of tests. These steps may be manually executed and this procedure is described in the last section of this WIKI document.  Fully automated installation of the RIC as part of the REC will not be complete until sometime in 2020. If you are interested in actually interfacing a REC appliance with eNodeB/gNode B and radio infrastructure you should really join the Radio Edge Cloud Project Meetings on a weekly basis and let the REC team know of your interest. We will be happy to coordinate with you and welcome any testing that you can do.
