  1. Download the mininet backup

    We download the mininet backup from the following link —- git://github.com/mininet/mininet.If you click on the download zip option, then we can extract the downloaded zip file.Mininet Backup

    install.sh –h
    during the checkout execution, you can specify which version you want to install.Mininet Commands execution

  3. Execute the commands to open the simulation tool

    Change the mininet installed location by using the command cd. The location must have the main mininet executable file which is named as “./mininedit.py”.Mininet simulation tool

  4. Execute the main command

    Execute the main command “./mininedit.py” to get the simulation window. If the “./mininedit.py is not in the executable format, then change into executable format, by using the command sudo chmod +x mininedit.pyMininet simulation window

  5. Execute Mininet File

    After execute the ./ mininedit.py command in the terminal , we can View and access the simulation window, like the below screenExecute Mininet File
