 The ``testpmd`` application is compiled as part of the main compilation of the DPDK libraries and tools.
 Refer to the DPDK Getting Started Guides for details.

-
-#.  Set the required environmental variables and go to the source directory:
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-        export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
-        cd $RTE_SDK
