NS2 (NS-2.35) Installation in Fedora 16

This post will help you in installing Network Simulator 2 version NS2.35 in Fedora 16

Steps:'

  • Install Fedora using a DVD ISO (if you go for a CD iso, then you need to download lot of packages)
  • Download NS-2.35 from this website.
  • Unzip or untar it to any folder (recommended is /home/loginname) using the following commands one by one

tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz

cd ns-allinone-2.35

./install

  • Once installed the PATH information will be shown in the screen.
  • Copy the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH Variable to .bash_profile (see a dot in the beginning)

Input the path information in .bash_profile like this

There will be a PATH Variable already available in the .bash_profile file, just copy the PATH information from the NS2 installation and append it over the existing PATH variable (but put a separator : between each path)

export PATH=$HOME/bin:<Put a colon and Place your paths here>

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<place the LD_LIBRARY_PATHS> here.

Once done, save the file and close

execute the command

source .bash_profile

try ns (if you see a % indicates ns is installed successfully) or nam (a animation window will be opened).

  4. For a single PC is OK.. (Fedora 16)

    What about networked systems - using centralized logging?

    How any user can access ns and nam?

  5. You can create a ns2.sh file inside the /etc/profile.d and set the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and restart the system. ?In this anyone can be able to access the ns and nam.

  6. Hello Pradeepji...

    I rectified the error.. while running NAM on fedora 16... after installing ns2.35 on f16.


    In the path settings in .bash_profile...

    I removed the path representation for tk

    after/before I installed 'tk' from fedora 16's DVD.

    Now its works fine..


    I think there is some bugs in "tk section" of ns2.35.allinone.tar.gz pack content.

    Thank You for your Basic Guidance to NS2 on Fedora 16

  12. ok found bash_profile already before this..it is a hidden file in Home directory..but when i try to run a tcl file for example "example.tcl" by using "ns example.tcl" I got "ns: command not found".. why is that?

    ReplyDelete
  13. thanks for your reply..but, it only happens like that when i try to run "ns example.tcl" in 'ex' folder in tcl...but when i try to run other tcl files such as in 'test' folder in tcl, for example "ns test-all-jobs.tcl jobs-rate", it's working..is that really means that ns is not installed?

    2. sir,
      i m executing the example given in tcl for wireless in ns 2.34.
      i had implemented the dccp patch in it.
      it worked for dccp in wired networks.
      but for wireless it is given error as:

      num_nodes is set 2
      INITIALIZE THE LIST xListHead
      can't read "ns": no such variable
      while executing
      "$ns attach-agent $node_(0) $dccp1"
      (file "wireless-mitf.tcl" line 153).


      warning: Please use -channel as shown in tcl/ex/wireless-mitf.tcl

      my code is present in tcl/ex/wireless-mitf.tcl

      the modification i did is that i replaced tcp with dccp as:


      set dccp1 [new Agent/DCCP/TCPlike]
      $dccp1 set class_ 2
      set dccpsink1 [new Agent/DCCP/TCPlike]
      $ns attach-agent $node_(0) $dccp1
      $ns attach-agent $node_(1) $dccpsink1
      $ns connect $dccp1 $dccpsink1
      set ftp [new Application/FTP]
      $ftp attach-agent $dccp1
      $ns at 10.0 "$ftp start"
