# Chapter 55. Installing and Configuring PPP

# Including PPP in a Configuration

PPP is contained entirely within a single eCos package. So to include PPP in a configuration all you need to do is add that package.

In the GUI configuration tool use the Build->Packages menu item, find the "PPP Support" package in the left-hand pane and use the Add button to add it to the list of packages in use in the right-hand pane.

In the command-line tool ecosconfig, you can use the following command during the configuration phase to add the PPP package:

    $ ecosconfig add ppp

In addition to the PPP package you will also need to have the `"Network"` package and the `"Serial Device Drivers"` package in the configuration. The dependencies and requirements of the networking package are such that it is strongly recommended that you start with the `net` template.

See the eCos User Guide for full details on how to configure and build eCos.
