    TEL-WIMAX-NS2 project documentation [www.TEL.unl.edu] Page 1



    NS2 INSTALLATION GUIDE
    1. Download the file ns-allinone-2.29.tar.gz from sourceforge at
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/tel-wimax-ns2/files/ns2-allinone/ns-allinone-
    2.29.tar.gz and save it into the folder C:\cygwin\opt.
    2. Open Cygwin Bash Shell by executing cygwin.bat file in your C:\cygwin folder.
    You will be greeted by the screen of Figure 1.

    Figure 1: Cygwin Bash Shell
    3. Type cd c:/cygwin/opt as shown in Figure 2.

    Figure 2: Unzipping NS-2
    4. Type tar -zvxf ns-allinone-2.29.tar.gz to extract the ns-2 files as shown in Figure
    2.

    5. After the files are extracted type cd ns-allinone-2.29 (or cd ns* for shortcut) and
    then type ./install as shown in Figure 4. Note the dot (.) in front of the slash.

    Figure 3: Starting Installation Process
    6. NS-2 installation will start and you will get a screen as shown in Figure 4.

    7. If you are warned about missing files, just type y and go ahead with the
    installation.
    8. After installation is complete you will see the screen of Figure 5.

    9. If you have the .bashrc file in your $HOME folder located at
    C:\cygwin\home\your_name (e.g. C:\cygwin\home\developer)

    i) Goto C:\cygwin\home\your_name, find the .bashrc file and modify it. By
    adding the following text


    # Functions#
    #########
    export NS_HOME=/opt/ns-allinone-2.29
    export PATH=$NS_HOME/bin:$NS_HOME/tcl8.4.11/unix:$NS_HOME/tk8.4.11/unix:$PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NS_HOME/otcl-1.11:$NS_HOME/lib:\ $NS_HOME/otcl-
    1.8:$NS_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export TCL_LIBRARY=$NS_HOME/tcl8.4.11/library

    ii) Restart cygwin.

    Note: Please use a LINUX based test editor or software like UltraEdit for text
    editing and choose line terminator as UNIX Terminators-LF while saving.

    10. If you dont have the file in your $HOME folder, copy .bashrc file from
    C:\cygwin\etc\defaults\etc\skel to C:\cygwin\home\your_name and modify
    and save it as in step 11.
    11. Open the file profile from C:\cygwin\etc using a text editor and add the line


    . "$HOME/.bashrc"

    Note that there is a space between the first dot and "$HOME/.bashrc".

    12. Using the Cygwin bash shell prompt cd into /opt/ns-allinone-2.29
    13. Rename the folder ns2.29 into something else. It is used for backup purposes
    only. We typically rename it to ns2.29_old. For example, type:

    mv ns2.29 ns2.29_old

    14. Using SVN (Subversion) check out the latest stable code from sourceforge. To
    do so, execute the following from within Cygwin, in folder /opt/ns2-allinone-2.29

    svn co https://tel-wimax-ns2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tel-wimax-ns2/trunk ns2.29

    15. When the SVN checkout completed, cd to /opt/ns-allinone-2.29/ns2.29 as shown
    in Figure 6.
    16. Type ./configure;make clean;make at the prompt and hit enter.

    17. The compilation process will begin. This is a lengthy process. After NS-2 has
    been successfully compiled, you should see a screen as shown in Figure 7.

    18. After successful compilation, try running one of our scripts for verification. Three
    samples are provided in the sample folder inside the checked out ns-2.29
    directory structure. The way to create and execute NS-2 scripts is documented in
    the accompanying tutorials. It is better to change the current working folder to the
    folder containing the scripts for file management purposes.
