 ### Notes:
 
 * Memory (-m), CPU (--cpus) are recommended by Mini-NDN.
 * `--privileged` is mandatory for underlying [Mininet](http://mininet.org/) to utilize virtual switch
 * Root directory on `run` is `/mini-ndn` containing the installation and examples.
-* GUI may not work for now due to docker and xterm setup issues and is independent from Mini-NDN.
