Ubuntu下NS-3的安装

网上查了很多资料，大抵都是从原版的wiki页http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Installation翻译过来的，总体概括起来，安装过程分为以下几部分。

1. 准备工作

需在命令行执行以下操作：

• minimal requirements for Python (release): This is the minimal set of packages needed to work with Python bindings from a released tarball.

 sudo apt-get install gcc g++ python python-dev

• Mercurial is needed to work with ns-3 development repositories.

 sudo apt-get install mercurial

• Running python bindings from the ns-3 development tree (ns-3-dev) requires bazaar

 sudo apt-get install bzr

• Debugging:

 sudo apt-get install gdb valgrind 

• GNU Scientific Library (GSL) support for more accurate WiFi error models

 sudo apt-get install gsl-bin libgsl0-dev libgsl0ldbl

• The Network Simulation Cradle (nsc) requires the flex lexical analyzer and bison parser generator:

 sudo apt-get install flex bison libfl-dev

• To install gcc-3.4 for some Network Simulation Cradle (nsc) stacks:

 sudo apt-get install g++-3.4 gcc-3.4

• To read pcap packet traces

sudo apt-get install tcpdump

• Database support for statistics framework

sudo apt-get install sqlite sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

• Xml-based version of the config store (requires libxml2 >= version 2.7)

sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev

• A GTK-based configuration system

 sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev

• To experiment with virtual machines and ns-3

 sudo apt-get install vtun lxc

• Support for utils/check-style.py code style check program

sudo apt-get install uncrustify

• Doxygen and related inline documentation:

 sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz imagemagick sudo apt-get install texlive texlive-extra-utils texlive-latex-extra

• The ns-3 manual and tutorial are written in reStructuredText for Sphinx (doc/tutorial, doc/manual, doc/models), and figures typically in dia:

 sudo apt-get install python-sphinx dia 

Note: Sphinx version >= 1.12 required for ns-3.15. To check your version, type "sphinx-build". To fetch this package alone, outside of the Ubuntu package system, try "sudo easy_install -U Sphinx".

• Support for Gustavo Carneiro's ns-3-pyviz visualizer

sudo apt-get install python-pygraphviz python-kiwi python-pygoocanvas libgoocanvas-dev

• Support for openflow module (requires some boost libraries)

sudo apt-get install libboost-signals-dev libboost-filesystem-dev

• Support for MPI-based distributed emulation

sudo apt-get install openmpi*

2. 下载安装NS-3

第一次可以使用build.py脚本

cd

mkdir repos

cd repos

hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-allinone

./download.py

./build.py

想要自己配置，则需要使用waf

./waf -d debug --enable-sudo --enable-tests --enable-examples configure

./waf

3. 测试

./test.py
