OS: UBUNTU 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
Kernel: 2.6.32.020632-generic
Date: Jan 25th, 2010
It seems been ages since last post.
The day before yesterday one of my friend called up asking he have difficulties installing ns and nam on Ubuntu 9.10. So I searched a bit and I agreed that general installation process sure looked bit overwhelming.
However here is very easy way actually there is a ppa available for ns packages which needs to be included in repositories:
Export the key for Wouter Horre's ppa
- sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys B3F334F
Next thing is to add ppa repository to repository list (either by editing repository list with any editor or through Synaptic package manager)
Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories -> Other Software and then click on Add and paste following lines
- deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wouterh/ppa/ubuntu Karmic main
- deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/wouterh/ppa/ubuntu Karmic main
Reload the package listing through Reload of Synaptic or use
- sudo apt-get update
Select and install ns, nam and xgraph through package manager or through command line with
- sudo apt-get install ns nam xgraph
And you are good to go.
