Aim: Install NS-2 in Fedora OS within a 5 Minutes.

Step 1: Install Fedora Operating System. Step 2: Download ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz from the internet. Step 3: Open a Terminal in Fedora. Step 4: untar the tar of ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz using following command: tar -zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz Step 5: cd ns-allinone-2.35 Step 6: ./install It take 2-3 minute for installation. After the successfully installation of ns-2, it display following instructions: Ns-allinone package has been installed successfully. Here are the installation places: tcl8.5.10:/root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/{bin,include,lib} tk8.5.10: /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/{bin,include,lib} otcl: /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14 tclcl: /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/tclcl-1.20 ns: /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/ns nam: /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/nam-1.15/nam xgraph: /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/xgraph-12.2 gt-itm: /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/itm, edriver, sgb2alt, sgb2ns, sgb2comns, sgb2hierns --------------------------------------------------------------------Please put /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/bin:/root/nn/ns-allinone2.35/tcl8.5.10/unix:/root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/unix into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph. IMPORTANT NOTICES: (1) You MUST put /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14, /root/nn/nsallinone-2.35/lib, into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. If it complains about X libraries, add path to your X libraries into LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If you are using csh, you can set it like: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths> If you are using sh, you can set it like: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths> (2) You MUST put /root/nn/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/library into your TCL_LIBRARY environmental variable. Otherwise ns/nam will complain during startup. After these steps, you can now run the ns validation suite with

cd ns-2.35; ./validate For trouble shooting, please first read ns problems page http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html. Also search the ns mailing list archive for related posts. Step 7: Understand this important instruction properly and set path according the instruction. Step 8: As per instruction, we modify two file name as a .bash_profile and .bashrc which are already hide in ns-allinone-2.35 Folder, so we need to unhide of all the file in ns-allinone-2.35 Folder. Step 9: Modify .bash_profile file as follows: # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/root/ns-allinone-2.35/bin:/root/ns-allinone2.35/tcl8.5.10/unix:/root/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/unix LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14:/root/ns-allinone2.35/lib TCL_LIBRARY=/root/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/library export PATH unset USERNAME Step 10: Modify .bashrc file as follows: # .bashrc # User specific aliases and functions alias rm='rm -i' alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/root/ns-allinone-2.35/bin

Step 11: Save that two file and close terminals and all file, folder. Reopen a terminal and write the ns command. If % sign display as responds. This means ns-2 successfully install on machine.
