Due to the new release of ndnSIM (version 2.1<\/a>) my last post about running ndnSIM without root<\/a> has become obsolete. It is also no longer necessary to compile ndn-cxx as a separate library now. However, if you still want to use the (recommended)\u00a0ndnSIM scenario template<\/a> without having root access, here are the steps to follow (for version 2.1):<\/p>\n

Step 1: follow the installation (requirements, etc...) instructions<\/a> on the ndnSIM website until you have to type .\/waf the first time.<\/p>\n

For instance (after having installed all pre-requesits):
\nmkdir ndnSIM
\ncd ndnSIM
\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/named-data-ndnSIM\/ns-3-dev.git ns-3
\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/named-data-ndnSIM\/pybindgen.git pybindgen
\ngit clone --recursive https:\/\/github.com\/named-data-ndnSIM\/ndnSIM.git ns-3\/src\/ndnSIM
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Step 1.a: If you require BRITE<\/a>, do this in addition:
\n
\nhg clone http:\/\/code.nsnam.org\/BRITE
\ncd BRITE
\nmake
\nexport BRITE_HOME=$(pwd)
\ncd ..
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Step 2: Create a directory where ns-3 and ndnSIM will be \"installed\" into, e.g.:
\nmkdir ndnSIM-build
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Step 3: Go to the ns-3 subfolder and compile ns-3 and ndnSIM:
\ncd ns-3
\n.\/waf configure --prefix ..\/ndnSIM-build -d optimized
\n.\/waf
\n<\/code>
\nNote: --prefix ..\/ndnSIM-build tells the build-script to not install the libraries to the default location, but to ..\/ndnSIM-build.<\/p>\n

Step 3.a: If you followed Step 1.a for BRITE, you will have to add --with-brite=$BRITE_HOME to the .\/waf command:
\n.\/waf configure --prefix ..\/ndnSIM-build -d optimized --with-brite=$BRITE_HOME
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Step 4: Grab a coffee, tea, beer, etc.! This step takes some time...<\/p>\n

Step 5: Once this has finished, type
\n.\/waf install
\n<\/code>
\nNote: You did not have to use sudo! ns3 and ndnSIM are now being \"installed\" to ..\/ndnSIM-build<\/p>\n

Step 6: Set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH for being able to use the scenario template
\ncd ..
\nexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)\/ndnSIM-build\/lib\/
\nexport PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH\/pkgconfig
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Step 6.a: You might need to add those exports to your ~\/.bashrc file.<\/p>\n

Step 7: Download and configure scenario template
\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/named-data-ndnSIM\/scenario-template.git scenario
\ncd scenario
\n.\/waf configure
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Step 8: Create your examples in the scenario template and run them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
