轉自: http://wirelesscafe.wordpress.com/2011/01/15/how-to-install-ns3-on-linux/

Happy New Year to all the readers. Its long, I have not posted any thing on this blog except comments :) . So, here, today we will see how to install ns3 on linux box. The home page of ns3 is NS3 Home

the current release is ns3.10 (January 5, 2011) and can be downloaded from DOWNLOAD NS3.10

Step 1: Download ns3.10 and save it some where , but on the same machine where you want to install (Just Kidding :) )

Step 2: open the terminal and go to the folder where ns3.10 tar file is.

Step 3: from the terminal run :

$tar -xvf ns-allinone-3.10.tar.bz2

$cd ns-allinone-3.10

$./build.py

you can provide some options to build.py but as a newbie use the default one :)

When the build process get over (it will take some time), type

$cd ns-3.10

and now we will validate our installation

$./test.py

the out put of this will be some thing like this:

Waf: Entering directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’

Waf: Leaving directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’

‘build’ finished successfully (2.010s)

PASS: TestSuite lte-bearer

PASS: TestSuite lte-propagation-loss-model

PASS: TestSuite wimax-fragmentation

PASS: TestSuite lte-phy

…………..
PASS: Example examples/tcp/tcp-nsc-lfn
PASS: Example examples/wireless/wifi-ap.py
PASS: Example src/contrib/flow-monitor/examples/wifi-olsr-flowmon.py
168 of 168 tests passed (168 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed, 0 crashed, 0 valgrind errors)

Step 4:  Now our ns3 is installed and ready to run sample programs.

right now we are in directory “ns-3.10″
from terminal :

 

$ cp examples/tutorial/first.cc scratch/myfirst.cc

$./waf
this time waf will give some thing like this:
Waf: Entering directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
Waf: Leaving directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
‘build’ finished successfully (15.900s)

Step 5: now it is the time to run the simulation

$ ./waf –run myfirst
Waf: Entering directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
Waf: Leaving directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
‘build’ finished successfully (1.353s)
Sent 1024 bytes to 10.1.1.2
Received 1024 bytes from 10.1.1.1
Received 1024 bytes from 10.1.1.2
Congratulations !! NS3 is installed and running successfully.
Lets try some other example.
Again go to the terminal and type
$cp examples/wireless/ofdm-validation.cc scratch/myofdm.cc
$./waf
out put will be:
Waf: Entering directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
[1330/1502] cxx: scratch/myofdm.cc -> build/debug/scratch/myofdm_2.o
[1500/1502] cxx_link: build/debug/scratch/myofdm_2.o -> build/debug/scratch/myofdm
Waf: Leaving directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
‘build’ finished successfully (5.842s)
now run the simulation:
$ ./waf –run myofdm
this time output will be:
Waf: Entering directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
Waf: Leaving directory `/media/Installations/ns-allinone-3.10/ns-3.10/build’
‘build’ finished successfully (1.448s)

So, this way you can try different examples, and get an introduction of ns3.
Note: As I am using Fedora 14 Complete Installation, I have not feel the need to resolve the dependencies, but if you will come across any error then please make me know, so that I will extend the post to cover the dependencies problems, and to other distributions also like ubuntu etc.

Enjoy Ns3 , soon, I will come back with tutorials on ns3 and dependencies resolution for ns3 (only if some will mention the errors ;) )
