How to Run NS3

Time needed: 5 minutes

Follow from Step 1 to Step 8 in order to create NS3 using Simulation projects. Quick guide to create NS3 simulation. Reach us , if you want an customize NS3 simulation projects works for scholars.

1. Install the NS-3.26

   Initially , install the NS-3.26 tool by using the ns-allinone-3.26.tar.bz2 package. For make install use and execute the command ./build.py

2. Open the terminal

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

3. Configure the package

   Change the ns-allinone installation location in the terminal, using the command cd ns-allinone-3.26/ns-3.26. And execute the command sudo ./waf configure

4. Build the package

   For build the configured package by using the sudo ./waf build command in the ns-allinone-3.26/ns-3.26 . Package and view the build packages

5. Create a main file

   Create and store the main file in scratch folder with the file extension of .cc , and run the sample simulation code by using the command sudo ./waf –run main –vis
   during the file execution /run process don’t use the file extension .cc

6. Execute the main file

   The main file in scratch folder with the file extension of .cc , and run the sample simulation code by using the file execution /run process don’t use the file extension .cc

7. Get the Graph Result

   Run the sample simulation code by using the file execution /run process don’t use the file extension .cc and get the simulation of graph diagram

8. Network Simulation Result

   Network path of the sample simulation code by using the file execution /run process don’t use the file extension .cc and get the simulation result successfully
