1. System requirements

   For install the NS-3.26 , we need the following minimum system requirements.
   1)OS : ubuntu-14.04 LTS(32 bit)
   2)RAM :minimum 2GB
   3)Processor: 2.5 GHz and above

2. Open the terminal and verify the installed package

   Initially,Next open the terminal by press ctrl+alt+T buttons or search from the installed software list.

3. Change the location

   Change the ns-allinone installation location in the terminal, using the command cd ns-allinone-3.26/ns-3.26

4. Execute the main file

   For get the simulation , execute the main file by using the command sudo ./waf –run Mainfile –vis

5. Simulation Nodes

   Get the simulation window with the specified number of nodes

6. Perform the NetAnim process

   Change the location for get the netanimator result , by using the command
   cd /home/research/ns-allinone-3.26/netanim-3.107

7. Execute NetAnim

   by using the command
   cd /home/research/ns-allinone-3.26/netanim-3.107
   execute the command ./NetAnim

8. Simulation execution

   Select the XML file, the XML file is one of the auto generated file. During the simulation execution the file is generated.

9. Simulation window
